Adobe Express is a Windows software for creating Instagram stories, YouTube thumbnails, flyers, menus and other types of multimedia projects. It is oriented toward people without any graphics design experience. Supported export file formats include JPG, PNG, PSD and TIFF.

How it works

There is a collection of project templates for various purposes. Users can add text blocks, images and other visual elements to the layout. Moreover, it is possible to change the background color.

Like in Adobe After Effects, instruments for designing animations with multiple scenes are provided. You are able to rearrange individual frames on the timeline and preview the results before saving.

This application lets users log into their Creative Cloud account to access a vast online catalog of free and paid graphics elements split into multiple categories.

Video editing

You can modify existing clips by cropping, rotating and resizing the source picture. There is a slider for manually adjusting the default playback speed as well. Moreover, tools for changing the overall opacity level and blend mode are included. It is easy to trim the resulting video to remove unwanted fragments.
