Template-based design and video editor with Firefly generation and built-in social scheduling.
#2 of 9 in AI Video Tools by Overall Score
Adobe Express is a design app for the web, iOS and Android that builds social graphics, flyers, short videos, documents and PDFs from a large template library. Generative features run on Adobe Firefly: paid plans include a monthly allowance of generative credits, and the Free plan gets a limited number of daily generations. Content Scheduler plans and publishes posts to TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, X, Pinterest and LinkedIn from desktop or mobile, with one account per network on Free and up to three on Premium. Premium opens up the full template and Adobe Stock catalog, more Adobe Fonts, brand kits, one-click resizing, background removal and 100GB of storage. Teams and Enterprise add shared brand kits, templates with locked elements, real-time co-editing, commenting and the Admin Console for license management. Express also opens files from Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign and hands PDF edits to Acrobat, so it fits alongside Creative Cloud.
Adobe Express includes template-based editing and access to Adobe creative services without requiring a complete Photoshop workflow. It can be particularly suitable for teams reusing Creative Cloud assets and brand elements; designers building interactive application prototypes should instead use a dedicated interface design environment.
