Overall Satisfaction with Adobe Express

I use Adobe Express for designing social media content, appreciating its ready-made templates which save time and effort. It solves creative blocks by providing design ideas, and I love its voice character feature for making animations. However, the layering feature feels basic compared to Photoshop. I switched from Canva due to Adobe Express's aesthetics and interface. Setup is easy, taking less than an hour to learn.

Pros

  • Social Media content
  • Production Schedule
  • Infographics

Cons

  • blending mode
  • layers options
  • Align to selection
  • I received 6,412 views for a carousel I made using Adobe Express
  • I able to create production schedule for my work in less than 1 hour using the Adobe Express template
I like the design taste and how clean and fresh and professional the templates are!
I switched from Canva due to Adobe Express's aesthetics and interface. Setup is easy, taking less than an hour to learn.
this is super convenient! and steep learning curve as well! it didnt take me that long to start creating and it will prevent me from creative block so i like it! fast, easy, quick no hassle!

I like Adobe Express for its ease of use in designing social media content with ready-made templates, which makes designing faster and easier for me. I really enjoy the voice direct feature, where I can choose a character, like a cartoon character, and have it lip-sync my voice. It feels super cool and fun to create an animated avatar in such a short time. The learning curve of Adobe Express is very easy, and I appreciate how quick it is to learn the interface, with menus and elements neatly displayed. I also love the templates, the aesthetic, and the interface, which are compact compared to other products.
