"A Fast and Easy Creative Tool"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

It’s a great creative tool for people who aren’t designers by trade or training. It offers a large library of icons, images, clipart, and fonts to pull from, which makes it easy to create assets that look like they could have been made in Photoshop or InDesign. It’s also pretty quick and easy to use, and it includes AI tools to help you draft and brainstorm if you need a little assistance getting started.

Another thing I like is that, if you work with designers, you can build out your idea in Adobe Express and then send the file to a designer who can open it directly in Photoshop or InDesign to iterate or refine. And if you already have a Creative Cloud account or team account, it’s a pretty cheap add-on compared to a Canva account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

The font library is still lagging and your ability to transform/alter text is lacking as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive Design Tool with Room for Improvement"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I find Adobe Express pretty intuitive and easy to use. Everything's pretty much where you could expect it to be, and it has a lot of different capabilities. I need to create a lot of creative assets for social media posts, and when I'm trying to create something quickly, it's easy to use because everything's there and easy to use. Additionally, I like how we can add in our brand to make things a template with brand colors and fonts, so it's all in one place, and I don't have to create a new thing every time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

For me, the video editing is really horrible. I think that editing is difficult and very inefficient. I think as well that sometimes it's hard to space out parts of a graphic equally. If I have, you know, two sets of text and I want them to be an even amount of space away from each other, as well as the border of the image, it's not easy to do that. I have to vary it a lot. I'm not able to edit an exact distance away. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Versioning and Workflow Simplification"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I like that Adobe Express makes my creative work easy. I am able to build templates and manage my workflow a lot easier than just simply using Adobe Illustrator. It helps with eliminating time versioning and reviewing assets for approval. Some projects I get are super complex and need a lot of versioning, so it's great to have Adobe Express as a tool to help with versioning. I also use it to make templates to share with the creative team so we can all work faster. The initial setup was very easy, it's a super easy program. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I think the UI could be better. I think bringing in some of the useful shortcuts on the keyboard would help make versioning easier within Express. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Design Workflow with Minor Editing Limitations"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express to design social media content, ads, and presentations. The workflow is a lot simpler, and I can easily create an asset and schedule it using the same software. I like the availability of multiple assets from Adobe Stock and elements, and I appreciate the ease of creating a vision within minutes. The initial setup of Adobe Express was easy, and I find it works well alongside Illustrator, Premiere, and Photoshop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

There is a limited capability of editing. For example, if I wanted to add flair by drawing in something or erase a small section of an asset to make it match my brand better, it is unavailable. I think if Adobe Express adopted a small brush tool/eraser tool for minor edits, this would be beneficial. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Thank You For Saving My Life"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

Adobe's resources for design elements are top notch and it's so easy to collaborate on designs with my colleagues at work! We now use Adobe Express for all social media + display screen content Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Adobe products in general are really pushing for AI generated images which doesn't fit with out visual branding guidelines. On certain templates it can be difficult to turn off features that automatically adjust text sizes and don't tell you what the text size actually is. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Ideal for Quick, Creative Social Media Posts"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express for creating social media posts and videos for my live webinars, and it's great for changing text and resizing posters. I really appreciate the numerous templates that save me time because I only need to make minimal changes to fit my brand. The animation presets are very helpful, and I love the one-click option to animate static posters. The AI feature that automatically fills in empty spaces when I resize my canvas is amazing. Adobe Express is super friendly, and even people who aren't designers, like students, can use it easily. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I think the credits when exporting videos are a bit frustrating. When I upload bigger duration videos like 5 minutes, it takes up a lot of credits when exporting. Also, when I upload many videos in Adobe Express, they automatically expire or get deleted from my dashboard, which shouldn't happen unless I click delete, but I didn't do it. I tried using Adobe Express for retyping text for a risk warning because it's easier to use and web-based, so anyone can edit it. But I noticed that after I rewrite it and exit the editing, the video expires, so I have to redo it again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick, Stress-Free Design with Polished Templates in Adobe Express"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like best about Adobe Express is how quick and stress-free it makes designing. You don't need to be a designer or understand complex tools. You can open it and start creating immediately, which feels very welcoming. Another thing I really enjoy is the ready-made template. Whether it's a social media post, flyer, poster, or thumbnail, there's always a template that gives a good starting point. This saves a lot of time, especially when ideas are clear but execution is slow. Adobe Express also feels very clean and easy to use. The layout is simple, buttons are easy to understand, and nothing feels overwhelming. It doesn't have to search too much to find tools. I also like how it connects well with Adobe assets. Fonts, icons, images, and colors are already well designed, so the final result usually looks polished even with minimal effort. The ability to use it on both desktop and mobile is another big plus. I can start a design on my laptop and make quick edits on my phone, which is very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

One thing I dislike is that advanced design control is limited. If I want a very detailed layout or deep customization, the tool can feel restrictive compared to professional design software. Some of the best templates and features are locked behind a paid plan, which can be frustrating when you find something perfect but can't use it without upgrading. Layer management is quick and basic. When designs become slightly complex, it becomes hard to control elements properly. Sometimes the editor feels slow when working with many elements, especially on lower-end devices. It's also not ideal for print-level or brand-heavy designs. If someone needs pixel-perfect control or strict brand rules, Adobe Express may not fully meet those needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe Express: The Easiest Way to Create Graphics, Photos, and Animations"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

It’s clearly the easiest tool to use for graphics, pictures and animations. Just add your picture and edit or start with a template. There are several quick edit tools that help with the most wanted edits. When ready just download in the file type you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

There is no actual downside to this tool. You look for a tool that help you without getting to advanced. That is actually what you get. I have all Adobe creative cloud tool but I still end up in Adobe Express. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive, Quick, and Non-Destructive Editing with Adobe Express"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I find Adobe Express incredibly user-friendly, with its intuitive design and easy-to-use interface. It is very customizable and coherent, making my high-paced job easier with its non-destructive tools. I love that I can correct mistakes chronologically without losing the structure of my work. It's remarkably efficient, allowing me to create professional-quality podcasts, videos, animated cards, and presentations in less than half the time compared to other tools. The abundance of assets, plugins, and licensed music helps save costs on licenses and provides good media files, videos, and vectors for personalization. Plus, the initial setup was embarrassingly easy. Navigating among other Adobe CC software like Photoshop and Premiere is seamless too. Overall, Adobe Express has been a valuable tool for my work, allowing flexibility and quick adaptation without needing to look for other solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I wish adding more audio layers was easier, tricks that you need to apply to make it happen, are not always ideal. I'd be happy if they could improve the effects, for texts and images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Empowers Remote Work with Minor Scheduling Tweaks"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I like Adobe Express for its flexibility, allowing me to work from anywhere and easily build out projects. The cloud access is great, enabling me to work anytime, even between meetings or my kids' sports schedules, without having to carry my laptop. The initial setup was very easy, making it convenient to get started quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I find the scheduling platform lacking. I would like the ability to see posts in a better view. It just needs some enhancements to work for larger scale business, in my opinion. With about 7 accounts, the user interface feels clustered. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
