Adobe Express Newsletter May 2025 Wrap

✨ Get Ready to Create Faster, Smarter, and Bolder

The latest enterprise features in Adobe Express are built to elevate every part of your creative workflow. From one-click drop shadows and new text formatting capabilities to smarter image replacement and template filtering, these tools help you move faster and deliver standout content with ease. Let’s dive into what’s new!

  • 🌘 Add Drop Shadows to Images, Videos, and more: One of the most requested features is now here! Instantly add depth and drama to your designs with drop shadows on elements, images, videos, and more. This latest addition complements the existing ability to apply drop shadows to text.
  • 🖼️ Generate Image in Webpage: Type it. See it. Share it. Instantly turn text into stunning visuals with 'Generate image' powered by Adobe Firefly. No uploads, no fuss, just pure Adobe magic!
  • ↕️ Superscript, Subscript: Format your text to float above (superscript) or dip below (subscript) the baseline — perfect for pricing, product descriptions, legal disclaimers, copyright/trademark info, and more!
  • ⚡ Quick Replace: Update branded templates in a flash! See all replaceable elements at a glance and swap them out in seconds.
  • 📏 Size Filter for Templates: Find your perfect fit faster! Filter templates by platform or purpose so you can jump straight into designing with confidence.
  • 📉 Social Media and Ads: We’ve supercharged the Social Media section, now called ‘Social Media & Ads’. This update reflects our expanded focus from organic content to include ad workflows, too! Whether you're creating for your feed or your next campaign, it's all in one place.

🆓 OneDrive Import: Bring your .docx files straight into Adobe Express! This latest enhancement unlocks a more flexible, streamlined workflow, making it easier than ever to turn documents into stunning visuals.

🆓 Vimeo Video Tools: Instantly access your Vimeo library to upload, manage, and share videos—no downloads or re-uploads needed. PLUS, enhance your content with AI-powered tools like translations and highlight reels, all in one place.

🤩 Convert GIF to MP4: While you can easily convert an MP4 to a GIF, the reverse—turning a GIF into an MP4—via the quick action is not supported. But, here's a little hack… just open your GIF file through "Start from Your Content." Once it's uploaded, you can easily download it as an MP4!

Designing for New York City at Scale

With Adobe Express streamlining asset creation and Adobe Firefly accelerating ideation, the DCAS Creative Services team has lessened endless revision cycles. Instead, they’re focused on creating impactful campaigns that serve New York City — at the speed the city demands.

🏙️ The creative team at the New York City Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) is transforming public sector design with Adobe Express and Firefly. “Some agencies don’t want to come back to us for every small text edit or color adjustment,” says Creative Director Richard Beatty. “With Adobe Express, we’ll create templates they can update themselves, freeing us up for high-priority work.”💡The result? Nearly 4x faster turnaround. What used to take two hours now takes 30 minutes or less, giving the team more time to focus on storytelling that matters.
