"Simple and fast tool for creating professional designs"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like best about Adobe Express is how easy it is to create high quality visuals without needing advanced design skills. The interface is simple and beginner friendly, and it offers a wide range of templates for social media posts, presentations, and marketing materials. I’ve mainly used it for quick creatives and it helps save a lot of time compared to starting designs from scratch. The drag and drop functionality and built in assets make the whole process smooth and efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

One limitation I’ve noticed is that customization options can feel slightly restricted compared to more advanced tools like Adobe Photoshop. While it’s great for quick designs, making very detailed or highly customized edits can be a bit challenging. Also, some premium templates and features are locked behind a subscription, which might be a drawback for some users. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Intuitive and Worth the Cost—Adobe Express Empowers Non-Tech Teams"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

The best feature is how intuitive it is. We use Express in our office so that program coordinators do not always need to come to the marketing team to let patrons know the pool is closed or to notify them of holiday hours. This platform allows even our non-tech folks to take ownership in some of their postings (paper and digital). I also appreciate the AI features for image generation and image editing. If you were to get just Adobe Express, it is definitely worth the monthly cost!

It integrates with the rest of the Creative Cloud; I tend to link assets from Photoshop or Illustrator. But it also has add-ons you can get through its marketplace. If you're doing basic editing and exporting, it has pretty quick responsiveness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

If you're on the free plan, there are very few things you have access to and you are comparing it to Canva or other platforms, it definitely has a smaller stock of templates. It is also not the strongest video editor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast, Beginner-Friendly Design with Templates, AI Tools, and Easy Resizing"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like most about Adobe Express is how fast and beginner-friendly it is compared to more advanced design programs. It makes it easy to create polished social media content, flyers, presentations, and short-form graphics without spending hours designing everything from scratch. I also appreciate the built-in templates, AI tools, and quick resizing options for different platforms. It’s especially helpful for content creation because I can produce professional-looking visuals quickly, while still customizing them to match my style and branding. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

One downside of Adobe Express is that it doesn’t offer as much detailed creative control as programs like Illustrator or Photoshop. Some of the templates can also start to feel repetitive if you use the platform often. Occasionally the app can lag a little with larger projects or when switching between features. While it’s great for quick content creation, it’s not always the best option for highly detailed or advanced design work. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Fast and Easy Content Creation Tool for Videos and Health Education"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

Adobe Express makes my daily work simple and quick. I dont have to spend much time on editing, I can just open it and start creating content. It is easy to use and I understood it without any training. Performance is also good, it runs smooth most of the time and I did not face major lag while working on normal videos and designs.

In my daily routine I work as a dietician and nutritionist, manage a homeopathy clinic and also create health education content, so I need to explain things in simple way to patients and learners. I use it regularly to make short explaination videos, diet charts and also thumbnails for my videos so that content looks more clear and proper. Templates help me a lot because I dont need to design everything from start.

I also like that everything is available in one place, so I can complete my work without switching tools. It fits well in my workflow and I use it quite often in my daily work. It helps me make content which is easy to understand and useful for both patients and teaching. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

when I am working on slightly longer videos or multiple elements together, it can feel a bit slow while previewing or adjusting things. It does not stop my work, but I have to wait little in between. One more thing I noticed is that internet connection matters, if speed is low then loading can feel a bit slow. Apart from these small things, it works fine for my daily content work and I did not face any major issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"A simple solution for fast, on-brand design"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like most about Adobe Express is how quickly it lets you create polished, on-brand content without needing to build everything from scratch. The templates are genuinely well-designed and flexible, which makes it easy to produce social posts, presentations, or display assets in minutes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

What I dislike most about Adobe Express is that it can feel quite limiting once you need more advanced design control. It’s great for speed and simplicity, but that comes at the cost of flexibility—fine adjustments, complex layouts, and deeper creative manipulation aren’t as strong as in tools like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator.

"Quick Designs That Don’t Look Common"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

What I like best about Adobe Express is how easy and fast it makes creating professional-looking content. The UI is clean and intuitive, templates save a lot of time, and the performance is smooth. It offers good value for the price, onboarding is effortless, and the built-in AI features help speed up the design process even more. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

One thing I’d like improved in Adobe Express is the AI features—they’re helpful, but still feel a bit basic. It would be great to have more advanced, prompt-based AI (like “create this style/design”) to speed things up even more and give better creative control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Beginner-Friendly Templates and AI Tools That Speed Up Creative Work"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

It’s very beginner-friendly and quick to use you don’t need any prior design experience to get started nor do you need to expertise to be able to fully use it. The templates are a big advantage, you can just pick a template, make small edits, and you’re good to go, as I have to make a number of creatives so these come in quite handy. It also has AI features (like text to image, background removal and background editing), which help speed up work. Overall it is a really good tool especially for social media posts, posters, or basic creatives. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

So as I have been using adobe photoshop, express doesn’t give much control compared to it, to what I feel customization options are somewhat limited. After a point, many designs can start looking similar because a lot depends on templates. Also, some features and assets are locked behind paid plans, which can feel restrictive if you’re using it regularly. For advanced editing or detailed work, it’s not the right tool.

"Adobe Calendar: The Underrated Feature I Love"
What do you like best about Adobe Express?

the one thing no one talks about. Adobe may have forgotten that it even exists. The Calendar.

I like to use Adobe Express every day in the web and mobile app creating the social media graphics, posts, videos, shorts for my platforms, but what I really love is how easy it is to schedule posts only one or two days a week.

It saves a lot of time and easy to use to post to multiple platforms at once as it intergrates easily with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn and TikTok! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Adobe Express?

Slow. sometimes the main page loads slowly even on my home PC tower wired with ethernet cable.

Also, when I click on a project with a few dozen docs in it, the images load very slow. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Easy to Use, with AI Features Improving and Plenty of Add-Ons"
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"
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.
