One of the coolest new features is the ability to turn text descriptions into unique images using Adobe’s AI technology. Here’s how to use it:

• Open a new project in Adobe Express and click on the “Text to Image” button.

• Type a detailed text description of the image you want to generate. Get creative and have fun with it! For example: “An underwater scene with a family of orange clownfish swimming through vibrant pink and purple coral reefs.”
• Select the desired image size and click “Generate Image.” Adobe’s AI will process your text and create a one-of-a-kind image.
• Customize the image further by cropping, adding filters, text, and more.

With Text to Image, you can bring any scene or concept to life just by describing it. It’s an easy way to create unique images and graphics for your projects.

Adobe Express also now has advanced AI-powered text effects to make your text stand out. Follow these steps:

• Add text to your project and style it how you want.

• Click the “Text Effects” button next to your text box.
• Type a simple text prompt describing the desired effect and let Firefly generate unlimited variations, or select from one of the sample effects for inspiration.
• See your text instantly transform with the vibrant text effect.

With just a couple clicks, you can make your text pop off the page. Experiment with combining multiple text effects for even more wow factor.

One amazing new feature is Generative Fill which lets you insert, remove or replace objects, people, and more in any image just by describing what you want. Here’s how to use it:

• Open an image in Express and select the Generative Fill tool.
• Use the brush to paint over the area you want to change.

• Describe what you want to add, remove or replace in that area. For example: “remove people”
• Express’s AI will intelligently generate a new version of the image with your description.

With Generative Fill, easily modify images without complex editing. The AI does the work for you!

Creating designs from scratch can be time consuming. Text to Template makes it fast and simple by generating full editable templates just from text descriptions. Follow these steps:

• Click the “Text to Template” button in Express.
• Describe the type of design you want like “fitness gym flyer” or “unicorn birthday invitation.”
• Express will automatically generate a custom template using images from Adobe Stock and text effects.

• You can hover your mouse over a result to generate more variations of a particular design.

• Customize the template by editing images, fonts, colors, and adding your own text.

In seconds, you can have beautiful design drafts to use as a starting point for any project.

Text, Photo, and Video Animation

In Adobe Express, you can animate text, photos, and videos to add a dynamic element to your designs. Here’s how you can do it:

• Selection:

  • Initially, you need to select the element you want to animate within the editor. This could be a text block, a photo, or a video.

• Accessing Animation Tools:

  • After selecting the element, you would scroll down within the left panel and select the Animation option.

• Animation Options:

  • Upon clicking the Animation option, you’ll have access to various creative animation options that are categorized into three main types: In, Out, and Looping.
  • You can select one or more of these animation types and adjust their timing, speed, and other properties to your liking​.

Animation Types

Adobe Express provides three primary types of animations that can be applied to your text, photos, or videos:

• In Animation:

  • This type of animation focuses on the entrance of an element into the frame.
  • For example, you can make text appear in your design one letter at a time, or have a photo zoom in from outside the frame.

• Out Animation:

  • Conversely, Out animation emphasizes the exit of an element from the frame.
  • For instance, you can make text disappear one letter at a time, or have a photo zoom out to reveal a new image.

• Looping Animation:

  • Looping animation creates a continuous motion effect for an element.
  • You could create a background that moves continuously, or make a logo bounce up and down, to name a few examples​.

These animation types, along with the provided customization options, allow for a wide range of creative possibilities within Adobe Express. Whether you are looking to create a simple animation or something more complex, the tools and options available within Adobe Express can cater to your needs.
