ZXPInstaller is a free, open-source desktop application designed to simplify installing third-party Adobe extensions. It provides a graphical alternative to Adobe Extension Manager, which was discontinued after Creative Cloud 2014. Users can install extension packages in the ZXP format through a straightforward drag-and-drop interface. The application handles installation by invoking Adobe's Extension Manager command-line utility in the background. This eliminates the need to manually execute installation commands. Built with Electron, it provides a consistent interface for Windows and macOS. ZXPInstaller is particularly useful for designers, video editors, and developers who need to install compatible Adobe extensions distributed outside the standard extension marketplace.
