"Easy to Use, with AI Features Improving and Plenty of Add-Ons"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

It's new to me, so I'm still in the learning phase. So far, I love how easy it is it to use. The AI features seem to be continuing to improve, which will make it that much more interesting to anyone that uses it. It also has lots of add-ons to integrate into it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Some features seem to be aimed more towards experienced users. If you don't know how some things work, it seems like you just have to figure it out yourself. Support seems to be minimal for inexperienced users, like myself. I've found that I just have to figure out lots of things on my own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Good for Quick Designs, But Lacks Template Variety"
3/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I find Adobe Express very easy to use. It’s especially well suited for people like me who want to create social media content, graphics, and illustrations quickly, without needing a lot of time to prepare everything. The templates are genuinely helpful because I don’t have to start from scratch, which makes it a great way for me to get things done fast. The overall UI is very pleasing, and the layout is straightforward to understand and navigate. I also feel that anyone—even without prior experience designing graphics for social media—can pick it up and use it with ease. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I think they can try to improve the templates. My bank usually has used most of the templates, and I feel like if they can innovate and make templates more varied and better suited for different kinds of social media content, it'd be better. Also, many people I know who use Adobe Express complain about the fee. It's hard for it to stand out as an independent product because it's perceived as expensive, making it hard to convince people to switch completely to Adobe Express.

"Easy PDF Editing and Sharing, Plus Video and Photo Tools"
5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

The first, and most important, thing for me is being able to edit PDF files and download them, and I use it extensively for that. On top of that, we can generate videos, edit photos, and more. It’s also easy to share with the team without even needing to download anything. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Sometimes, when I’m downloading, the selected page automatically switches to the current page instead of staying on the full page I chose. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Effortless Design with Adobe Express"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I really like how simple it is to use the drag and drop features and the templates that are there. They are a great starting point for a lot of our graphics. I like that you can upload your branding, like colors, logos, and fonts, and automatically apply all of that to the graphics with one click. I also like that there's a projects library you can share, which makes it really simple for me and my employee to work together and collaborate on a lot of the files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

I think the export file options should be improved. If it's a graphic, I think you should be able to export it as a vector or an Illustrator file or a Photoshop file. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Streamlined Designs, Quick and Easy!"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I love the templates and AI prompts in Adobe Express. I can grab a professional template for a hiring poster, drop in my text, and have it ready for LinkedIn in under ten minutes. It's incredibly efficient. Plus, the generative capabilities are also incredible. I can type a prompt for a specific background or image I need for a marketing creative, and it generates it right there on the canvas. It’s simple to learn, and I found it quite easy to use without a steep learning curve, unlike other complex tools like AI or Photoshop. It’s great for everyday tasks, making me comfortable using it. The initial setup was hassle-free using the web version, which is simple and straightforward. Overall, it's a great tool for scaling business graphics quickly while maintaining a professional look without needing to master heavy design tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

The interface can feel a bit rigid when dealing with really heavy complex multilayer designs. Sometimes the AI struggles to get text perfectly right on the first try. The quality of the creatives could be improved, and more templates should be added. The way AI fills a template when changing the aspect ratio sometimes needs work. The prompting can be challenging, as it sometimes struggles with perfect text placement on the first attempt. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"“Easy tool for making thumbnails and social media posts in Adobe Express""
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express mostly when I need a quick thumbnail or simple Instagram post. The app is easy to use and I like that I can edit things fast without opening bigger editing apps. Background remover works well for basic edits and templates are useful when I don’t want to start from scratch. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Sometimes the mobile app feels a bit slow when I work on bigger designs or add too many elements. I also noticed that some templates and effects are only available in the premium version, so the free version can feel limited at times for Adobe Express. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"My Go-To for Quick Designs and Photo Edits with Great Stock Assets"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I like that it's easy to put together quick graphic design projects whether it's an invite, social post, or photo edit. I like the availability of stock graphics and photos. The Firefly editing for photos is great. This is my go to when I need to put together a quick and dirty design - print or digital rather than using Illustrator or InDesign. Also my go to for editing photos when I need to remove an element (like a logo). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

The text editing and options can be tedious. It's definitely easier to do this in Illustrator or InDesign. I like to edit leading and tracking and it's not intuitive. I also wish you could make paragraph styles. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Quick and Intuitive for Basic Video and Social Media Tasks"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I use Adobe Express because it's quick and easy for social media posts and video editing. The interface is straightforward for stitching or editing videos, making it much simpler than other Creative Cloud apps. It's perfect for basic, fast tasks and acts as a quick version of the Creative Cloud. I find the templates and guides really helpful, as they offer solutions immediately when I start working. The program is fast, intuitive, and easy to use online, which allows me to share content with clients effortlessly. Additionally, initial setup was very easy, with seamless online access to my Libraries using my login. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

It's nowhere near as comprehensive as Canva, the tools, the layout, the inspiration, it's somehow not the same at all. I think following the user interface makes sense, people got used to Canva way ahead of Adobe Express. It's getting closer and has the integration with Libraries and is 'free' as part of the package but somehow isn't my go to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Adobe Express Makes It Easy to Create On-Brand Designs with Custom Fonts and Templates"
4/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like the best about Adobe Express is the ability to use my own fonts and templates with the specified brand parameters and colour palettes in addition to the inspiration available Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

The program speed is slow on both PC and mobile which causes delays with the interface. Hopefully a faster and more nimble program might help. Deeply concerned about AI scraping art :( Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great for Quick Designs When You Don't Want the Hassle"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

I mainly use Adobe Express to quickly create clean and professional-looking designs without spending too much time. I appreciate its ready-made templates and easy tools that save me from having to start from scratch or use complicated software. What makes Adobe Express stand out for me is how it balances simplicity with useful features. It's not just basic editing; it includes things like brand kits, quick resizing for different platforms, and AI-based tools such as Sticker from Photo, but without the complexity of heavy software. It feels like a middle ground where you get powerful features in a very easy-to-use format, which is honestly what makes it different from other tools I have used. The initial setup was pretty easy; I just signed in and could start using right away, with no complicated installation or setup process. Having a premium subscription makes it even easier to use the templates and the wide range of available options. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

One thing that doesn't work well for me is the performance and reliability at times. There have been situations where the software feels slow, lags, or even doesn't load properly, especially when working on slightly heavier designs. Sometimes I'm not able to open files, projects not loading or the app randomly crashing, which can be frustrating when working on something important. Uploading takes a long time when the file size is larger. I think these can be improved by making the app more stable and faster, especially for large files, simplifying the UI so that it becomes beginner-friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
