Adobe Express Newsletter December 2025 Wrap

šŸ”„ Strong Finish, šŸš€ Bold Start

Your ideas power progress—let’s keep creating and inspiring together. We wrapped up 2025 šŸŽ with powerful upgrades to accelerate your next project.

šŸŽ Experience Elevated

  • Copy & Paste from External Apps: Bring content in from Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Google Docs, Sheets, Slides, ChatGPT, and web with formatting intact for faster workflows and minimal adjustments.
  • Multi-Page View Upgrade: Your view settings now persist across all pages. Plus, navigateĀ ā€œView All Pagesā€ your way — use smaller thumbnails to see more at once or enlarge for additional detail.
  • Auto-Create Hyperlinks: Select text to paste a URL, or drop the full URL into your design, and Express will automatically detect and hyperlink it for effortless linking.
  • Search Your Custom Templates: Quickly find your templates from Home or within the Content Editor for faster access and improved discoverability.
  • Fresh Motion in Your Toolkit:Ā Add standout motion with new animation capabilities. Turbulence sets the mood with atmospheric movement, while Wobble In and Wobble Out pull focus to key elements as they enter or exit, so your designs grab attention and keep it.
  • Bulk Create Made Simple: Start smarter with an animated intro guide and downloadable CSV templates in 10+ languages, plus a quick README for setup.
  • Video Self-Record Enhancements: Enjoy a smoother experience with a new camera mirroring toggle and full-screen view on blank canvases.

šŸŽ Turbocharged Templates

  • Draft Mode for Templates:Ā Edit confidently with auto-save, clear status indicators, and side-by-side comparisons. Publish only when ready — remixers will only see the published version, not your in-progress work.
  • Multi-Brand Referencing:Ā Link up to 5 brands to a single template for ultimate flexibility and streamlined brand management.

šŸŽ Amplified Webpages

  • Table of Contents Comes to Webpages! Automatically generate a TOC from your headings, making long-form content easier to browse. Customize styles, omit headings, and choose auto-update for full control.
  • Text Editing Just Got Easier: Create and edit with ease with multi‑paragraph support, lists, headings, alignment, and quick section splits or merges.

šŸŽ Connected Workflows

  • Bulk PDF Import: Bring in up to 30 PDFs at onceĀ and instantly transform flat files into layered, editable designs.
  • PowerPoint Export Upgrade:Ā Exporting your presentations is now up to 30% faster. Enjoy accurate font conversion, smart font substitution, and this huge performance boost. Sharing your slides is now quicker, cleaner, and more reliable!
  • Select Workfront Project Is Here: Select a Workfront project during Review & Approval, and proofs drop right where they belong.

šŸŽ Enterprise Exclusives

  • Roles & Permissions Unlocked: Admins can now assign Application, Template, and Social Publishing manager roles with role-based permissions, ensuring smoother collaboration and stronger governance.
  • Transfer of Ownership:Ā Seamlessly move assets, such as brands, Files, and Custom Templates, between organizations. Perfect for your enterprise workflow.

šŸ’” Quick Tip: Resize smarter, one size at a time:Ā When resizing a design, convertĀ one format at a timeĀ instead of selecting multiple sizes at once. For example, resize toĀ Instagram Portrait first, thenĀ Instagram Story, thenĀ Facebook Cover. This unlocks aĀ new featureĀ that gives youĀ three design optionsĀ for each size, so you can quickly choose the layout that looks best.

Adobe Makes Creativity Accessible for Everyone with Adobe Express in ChatGPT

ā€œWe built something that lets everyone move faster without losing that NewsNation look.ā€

NewsNation accelerates its breaking-news content cycle with Adobe Express.

With the pace of breaking news leaving little room for traditional design workflows, NewsNation needed a faster way to create and update on-air and social graphics. By enabling producers to use pre-approved templates in Adobe Express, teams can make last-minute updates in minutes while maintaining brand consistency, helping NewsNation keep up with the speed and demands of a 24-hour news cycle.

ā€œWe wanted to spend less time on production and more time on ideas.ā€

Cox Enterprises unites its brands with one creative identity using Adobe Express.

With brands that span the globe and dozens of internal teams producing content daily, keeping one cohesive visual identity became its biggest creative challenge. That’s where Ideabar, Cox’s in-house agency, stepped in to rewrite how storytelling happens at scale.
