This week, Adobe is launching a new unified web and mobile product called Creative Cloud Express. This offering brings together a new level of simplicity and practicality with guided tools that make it easy to achieve beautiful results in just a few clicks. With this product, the company aims to allow everyone to participate in the Creator Economy – and be able to rapidly create impactful visual and multimedia content, no matter what your abilities.
Creative Cloud Express (CCX) is the natural evolution of Adobe Spark, in the stated goal of “Creativity for All.” CCX has all the same easy-to-use features of Spark, and plus many new capabilities to quickly and easily create standout graphics, documents, videos and more, whenever and wherever you need them.
What is Creative Cloud Express?
Creative Cloud Express is not a traditional desktop application. It’s a web and mobile app that you can run and use from anywhere. It’s a task-based, content-first experience that brings together Spark Post, Adobe Fonts, Adobe Stock images, on-trend templates, illustrations, icons, backgrounds, and features powered by Photoshop, Premiere and Acrobat.
With Creative Cloud Express, you can drag-and-drop your way to quickly create social graphics, flyers, posters, logos, short videos, animations, infographics, ads, and more. Browse professionally-designed templates, edit your images, videos, and documents with Quick Actions, or produce marketing assets for diverse media platforms. Customize your designs with simple-to-apply effects, filters, and textures that can be used together and layered.
Is Creative Cloud Express free?
Creative Cloud Express is free for anyone to use, and is built on a “freemium” model. Most of the functions and much of the content is no charge to use for all of your projects, for commercial use or otherwise. CC Express available today in 15 languages at express.adobe.com and in the Microsoft Store, Google Play Store and Apple App Store.
Free CC Express users get access to up to 1 million Adobe Stock images and other assets, thousands of templates, dozens of fonts, basic editing and photo effects, and 2 GB of online cloud storage. It’s free to use, forever
If desired, you can unlock premium features, including access to more than 175 million royalty-free Adobe Stock photos, 20,000+ fonts, premium templates and design assets, custom branding, more editing features, integration with Creative Cloud Libraries, Adobe Portfolio, 100 GB of cloud storage, and additional applications like Photoshop Express and Premiere Rush (the full versions).
How much does Creative Cloud Express Premium cost?
The upgrade to Express Premium is $9.99 per month or $99 per year, which is the same as what Adobe Spark Premium cost.
This is lower than the entry price of Canva Pro, which is arguably Adobe’s biggest competitor in this space.
Here are all the differences between the Free and Premium versions of the product. As an introduction to the full version, Adobe is currently offering a 3-month free trial of CC Express Premium.
