Overview

About Adobe Express

Adobe Express is Adobe's design app for social posts, flyers, videos, and documents. Firefly AI powers text-to-image generation, generative fill, and stylized text effects, and its AI features are designed to be commercially safe. The free plan includes templates and monthly AI credits, and you can work in a browser or on mobile. Check the official pricing page for current plans and limits before you upgrade. It suits creators and small businesses that need polished designs quickly, without learning a complex desktop design program.

Key Features

1. Firefly Text-to-Image

Describe an image in words, and Firefly generates it for you. Firefly is trained on licensed content, so results are designed for commercial use.

2. Generative Fill

Add, remove, or replace objects in a photo with a short description. Express fills the area to match the light and background around it.

3. Text Effects

Turn words into styled lettering, such as neon, moss, or copper effects. Apply an effect in a few clicks, then adjust it for your design.

4. 100K+ Templates

Start from over 100,000 templates for social posts, print, video, and documents. Each template is fully editable, so you can change text, images, and colors.

5. Brand Kit

Keep fonts, colors, and logos consistent across designs with a brand kit. Brand kits are a Premium feature, so check your plan first.

6. Adobe Sync

Open Photoshop and Illustrator files in Express, and edits in those apps stay synced. Your assets stay up to date without re-importing files by hand.
