Adobe Express, formerly Adobe Spark and later Creative Cloud Express, is a content creation tool developed by Adobe.[1][2][3] It is a cloud-based design platform where users can create videos, PDF documents, web pages, graphics and other digital assets. It is aimed at mainstream users, not professional graphic designers.[2]
History
There were three mobile apps that were predecessors to Adobe Express, including Adobe Post for creating social media, Adobe Slate for creating magazine and photo album-style content, and Adobe Voice for combining voice recordings with illustrations. In 2016, Adobe unified these apps under the Adobe Spark name and added a web version.[4] In 2021, the application was relaunched as Adobe Creative Cloud Express,[3] which was renamed to Adobe Express. In 2023, Adobe launched Adobe Express for Enterprise,[5] and later that year, incorporated generative artificial intelligence (AI) into the product.[6]
In October 2022, Adobe announced a collaboration with Wix to extend Adobe Express capabilities to Wix users.[7] Adobe has also partnered with several organizations and companies, including Etsy, Meta and Mastercard.[8]
In May 2023, Google collaborated with Adobe to enable Gemini users to generate images via Adobe Firefly and then modify them using Express.[9][10]
