Pros:

Integrated in Adobe Creative Cloud, can easily be used with other Adobe Apps. Many image templates available.

With that being said, Adobe Spark is one of the worst graphic design softwares out there. The ability to create unique designs is very hard and the templates are very limited.

It's all you need for most non-advanced design tasks.

5.0 last year

Comments: Overall, my experience with Adobe Creative Cloud Express has been very positive. Despite its limitations, it gives me access to most of the day-to-day basic tools I need to do my job.

Pros:

The thing I like most about the software is that it provides easy access to the rest of the Adobe products and services. The Creative Cloud Express makes life a bit easier by avoiding the steep learning curve involved in learning the full Adobe suite.

Cons:

The app is limited, obviously, compared to the full Adobe Creative Cloud platform. sometimes what you want to achieve just isn't possible with Express.

Adobe Quality meets Canva Ease

4.0 last month New

Comments: Overall, it has been a helpful tool for getting graphics out quickly!

Pros:

I like that it is connected to all of the adobe suite, such as stock, but express functions like canva (very easy).

Cons:

It's glitchy, especially in the app. Its also difficult to navigate the system where projects are stored.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express has exciting potential, but doesn't quite hit the mark

3.0 2 years ago

Comments: I would use the program for content creation but it is not easy to use, so it hasn't been a regular tool.

Pros:

I like the ability to pay for a membership and have access to all of the Adobe Creative Cloud, so it was nice to have another tool to explore for content creation

Cons:

As a user of Canva, in comparison, Adobe Creative Cloud Express lacked a variety and volume of templates, along with a harder to use UX/UI. This feels notable since Canva (the free version) feels far better than Adobe Express which I pay a Adobe CC membership (which is highly-priced) for so it's not very memorable.

Unleashing Creativity: Adobe Creative Cloud Express Simplifies Design for All

4.0 3 months ago

Comments: My overall opinion of Adobe Creative Cloud Express is overwhelmingly positive. It strikes a fantastic balance between functionality and ease of use, making design accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a small business owner, a social media manager, or just someone who wants to create beautiful graphics without the steep learning curve, Express has got you covered.
Is it perfect? No. But for what it offers - especially at its price point - it’s an incredibly valuable tool. It’s empowered me to bring my creative ideas to life without the frustration I’ve experienced with more complex software. If you’re looking for a user-friendly, versatile design tool I definitely recommend giving it a try!

Pros:

What I absolutely love about Express is how user-friendly it is. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it a breeze to navigate even for design newbies like myself. One feature that’s really won me over is the Quick Actions tool. Being able to remove backgrounds from images or convert file types with just a click is incredibly handy and saves me so much time.

Cons:

While the free version is generous, I’ve found myself bumping up against its limitations more often than I’d like. Some of the coolest templates and features are locked behind the premium subscription, which can be a bit frustrating. Also, as someone who occasionally works on more complex projects, I’ve noticed that Express lacks some of the advanced features you’d find in full-fledged design software.

Adobe Creative Cloud Express was extremely easy to use and yet provided advanced features which helped out as we learned more about it.

Royal history review of adobe cloud express

5.0 last year

Comments: My overall experience as been very good - easy to collaborate with others. Publish is very straightforward. Best of all I can switch between express and the other adobe apps. In addition it saves me money as I have now stopped using and paying for Canva.

Pros:

Quick on the fly in browser designing so you can design anywhere. There is a lot of support - with cool templates and elements you can't go wrong

Cons:

Not so easy to understand at the beginning as some of the tricks are hidden or not easy to see. Also in the beginning there were lots of upgrades which were confusing as some changed the interface.

Great for Social media posts and flyers

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: It saves me a lot of time.

Pros:

It is a tool that is really easy to use. It doesn't replace a designer, but when one is not available, Adobe Creative cloud offers a variety of great, professional templates.

Cons:

Some fonts don't support central European letter/signs.

Effective on the go solution for designers & business owners

5.0 8 months ago

Comments: It's a good experience using this software it provides me with everything I need and is included in the subscription plan.

Pros:

The adobe suite is comparable to an application like Canva in the sense that it's meant for you to be able to have out of the box design solutions. I like to use it as it is included in my subscription & I can access the assets I use on my computer - on the go.

Cons:

If you're not a commercial graphic designer it might take some time getting used to it. Also, most people would probably apt for Canva because it is a little more user friendly. Both software can get you to the end goal but Canva is a little more user friendly.

Pros:

I really like this app because it's very easy to use, and it helps me a lot in my day-to-day work with my students. It has very good features.

A Powerhouse For All Creatives Alike

5.0 9 months ago

Comments: Adobe Creative Cloud Express is awesome for any and all graphical needs. From editing a pdf to creating a magazine- it's all right here!

Pros:

Many years ago you would have to purchase each program from the Adobe Creative Suite separately (hundreds of dollars each), but now you get full access to all Adobe products for one low monthly fee AND none of the programs clutter up your desktop or take up memory because it's all done from the cloud!

Cons:

I can't say I have a complaint. I love Adobe Creative Cloud.

As a graphic designer...

5.0 last year

Comments: Adobe will always be one of my most precise tools and without them I couldn't do my job. I always recommend it.

Pros:

I like that with creative cloud I can have everything in one place. My agility and way of working has improved, the easy access to my files and documents allows me to stay motivated and up to date. I really value being able to share files between software, being able to go from PSD to AI easily without losing quality or performance.

Cons:

I am not a big fan of the payment method, that everything has to be annual or monthly, but I understand that it is one storage service at a time, which is one of the advantages that make the service more attractive.

Great way to make my workflow faster

5.0 2 years ago

Comments: I would recommend Adobe CC Express to most of my peers.

Pros:

What i like most about Adobe CC Express is the express part. if youre fluent in the desktop apps youre already using its mostly a seamless transition.

Cons:

While moving from desktop apps to Adobe CC Express is MOSTLY a seamless transition, i do feel like the functions and tools take some time to figure out since not everything is in the same place

I have a premium experience with ACC

5.0 last year

Comments: Adobe CCE is just an amazing pack of wonderful things which enables us to get the desired designs in a very neat manner. Yes, it is extremely vast and needs more exploration.

Pros:

There are couple of things which i like the most however the usage of quick action comes first.Removal of background and converting a video to GIF with the help of Quick Actions.

Cons:

May be video editing feature. I have never got much opportunity to work on video editing though.

Such a lifesaver for all our design needs

5.0 last year

Pros:

The marketing department of the company depends a lot on Adobe especially the Adobe creative cloud express for our promotional content. The huge range of templates and designs makes this a no brainer, as the go to software.

Cons:

The fact that it is online (cloud) is a plus and a con when there is an issue with the connection.
