Both editions run as full standalone apps on Mac and Windows with access to the same core editing, AI, and organizational tools.

No. You can own Photo RAW or Photo RAW MAX for a one-time purchase. The license for Photo RAW 2026.4 includes free updates to version 2026, but it does not include major upgrades in future years. Choose a subscription and you'll always have the latest version of Photo RAW MAX.

A subscription gives you access to ON1 Photo RAW MAX, including Restore AI, at a significantly lower upfront cost than a perpetual license. It also includes 200 GB of ON1 Cloud Sync for keeping your photos in sync across devices, plus automatic access to future versions as they're released.

For the most complete option, ON1 Photo Studio includes everything in Photo RAW MAX, all individual plugin and standalone titles, any new software released in the future, installs on up to five computers, 1 TB of Cloud Sync storage, and unlimited access to ON1 Plus training.

The MAX Edition can be installed on up to 3 computers. The standard version of Photo RAW can be installed on up to 2 computers. Subscribe to get up to 5 installations.
