"Unlocks Creative Potential with Ease, Needs Multilingual Support"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express to extract my creativity and for editing photo ideas, making use of AI. It helps me utilize different software, and I appreciate the ability to showcase my creativity by using monthly Credits. When creating videos, Adobe Express allows me to explore my creativity to generate fully functional videos. The setup was straightforward, just downloading the database and signing in with a Microsoft account or Google Account Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

There are some functions I don't know in Adobe Express. I wish there was education regarding the different functions, and it should be available in all languages, not just in English, but also bilingually. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Visual Creation for Non-Designers"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like most about Adobe Express is how easy it is to use. As an developer, I am not a designer, but I still need to create visuals for presentations, internal docs, feature demos and sometimes quick UI or flow explanations. The ready-made templates and drag and drop editor make it easy to create clean visuals without spending too much time on design work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Some advanced features and assets are available only in the paid version, which can be limiting at times. Also for more detailed or custom designs, it doesn't offer the same level of control as full designs tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Creativity and Collaboration for Beginners"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

Adobe Express strikes a great balance between being effective, quick, and easy to create powerful designs with minimal experience in the creative industry. It allows relatively new users to jump in and create impressive projects without needing the in-depth training that other advanced software often requires. The platform is also very affordable, offering a free base version and paid options for advanced features. I really appreciate how easy it is to search for and add creative elements—there’s a wide variety available, even in the free version. Even as a experienced user of advanced programs like photoshop, illustrator and InDesign - I often find it quicker, simpler, and more flexible to design quick elements and newsletters inside of Adobe Express. When I add a photo, it is very easy to replace it quickly, as well as very quickly make color adjustments. Having rulers and guides now is a new addition that adds even more capability to make your designs aligned and more professional. I also value that it’s web-based and collaborative. Being able to share a link and invite others to edit instantly, without any downloads or installations, is a huge advantage for team projects. Another standout feature is how quick and simple it is to use generative tools, like removing photo backgrounds, which works impressively well in just seconds. The option to share a direct view link or download a PDF for sharing is also extremely helpful. Adobe Express has become my go-to tool for creating quarterly newsletters filled with images, text, links, and design elements. I also use it frequently to design one-off pages for my volunteer programs. The non-profit groups I volunteer with include people who aren’t as tech-savvy, but after I made a tutorial video, I’m confident they can get started and make changes within minutes, all without needing to install anything. It’s incredibly easy to use. The Adobe team is also very engaged with users, listening to feedback and supporting the creative community. I’ve been using this software since its launch, and it has improved dramatically and become even more useful over time! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Depending on your needs, Adobe Express is not as powerful as other stand-alone installed software, it has limitations that other programs like InDesign and Illustrator are better for - but that takes tons of training. Although updated and improving constantly - some seemingly simple tasks are a bit tricky, but many of these have work-around tricks. I would like to see the ability to hyperlink an image (the workaround is make linked text behind the image that is scaled to the size of image). It can take a bit of use to get familiar with how some effects and things are done - the more you use it, the quicker everything becomes. I have also on occasion seen some glitches when I export to PDF where a couple images inside of frames are misaligned, but this was solved by simply replacing and re-uploading the images.

"Easy, Seamless Scheduling Across Multiple Social Platforms"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

The best thing about Adobe Express is how easy it is to use and how seamlessly it works. I also like that it helps me schedule my posts across multiple social media platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

As a professional user of Adobe apps, I often can’t find the right tools in Adobe Express to customise my designs, especially compared with other Adobe apps. I understand that Adobe Express is meant to be beginner-friendly and suitable for all ages, but it can feel limiting when I need more advanced options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe Express: Powerful, Fast Design with Templates and Quick Actions"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

​The most helpful aspect of Adobe Express is its seamless balance between power and speed. As someone who balances technical work with personal projects, I value the massive library of high-quality templates and the intuitive "Quick Actions." Features like one-click background removal and instant image resizing are incredibly efficient. It allows me to create polished, professional-looking visuals for my trip itineraries and technical documentation without needing the steep learning curve of more complex Creative Cloud software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

The least helpful part of the experience is the occasional performance lag when working with high-resolution assets or complex multi-page documents on the web browser version. Additionally, while the asset library is vast, the distinction between "Free" and "Premium" elements can sometimes be frustrating when you are trying to work quickly. I also find the mobile app to be slightly less precise than the desktop version, which can make fine-tuning small design elements a bit tedious when I’m on the go.

"Effortless Design with Flexibility and Creative Assets"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I love that Adobe Express is super easy to use and makes it possible to create brand-compliant creatives without the need to bring a designer into the loop. I appreciate the variety of assets and the flexibility of templates it offers. I also like that I can set templates that are editable in some areas and not in others, which is helpful in maintaining consistency while allowing customization where needed. Additionally, I find the ability to scale visually rich content for different audiences or locales to be immensely valuable. The initial setup was super easy too!

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Interoperability with tools like Marketo could be enhanced. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Time-Saving and Intuitive Design Tool"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express to create quick social media graphics, which saves me time and helps expose my junior team with limited design experience. I enjoy the wide variety of templates that get the creative process started quicker. I also appreciate the ability to upload a PSD or Illustrator file from my graphic designer and convert it into an Express file. This feature gives me the agency to make changes the way I envision without the complexity of Photoshop and Illustrator. Additionally, the initial setup was very simple, making it easy to start using the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Fun, and Effortless Design with Adobe Express"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I have a valid PHOTOSHOP license but I often use Adobe Express for quick mockups ot templating.

Adobe Express is really easy for me to use, and it helps a lot when I need to make something quickly. I just pick a template, change a few things, and it already looks good. It saves me time for thumbnails and small graphics, and the tools feel simple even if I'm not a designer. Overall, it makes my work faster and a bit more fun. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

If I have to point out a few things I don’t like about Adobe Express, I’d say it can feel a bit slow sometimes, especially when loading bigger projects. Some features are locked behind the paid plan, so you quickly hit limits if you use it often. The mobile app is good, but not always as smooth as the desktop version. And sometimes the interface hides options in places that are not super obvious, so I need a moment to find what I want. Nothing terrible, but a few small things that could be better.

"Streamlined Team Collaboration with Some UI Hiccups"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I really appreciate that Adobe Express is super straightforward and fast, which is important when I'm working with graphics and adjusting images for social media. I like that I can collaborate with my team on it, as it allows me to distribute work, review, and make edits without the hassle of sending files back and forth. Additionally, setting it up was very easy since I have an Adobe Creative Suite license. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I think the interface can sometimes be annoying. I would like the ability to easily close windows. It would be nice to have a desktop application. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
