Adobe
has
released
a
new
app
for
Adobe
Express,
its
cloud-based
mobile
design
platform,
bringing
the
same
creative,
editing,
and
Firefly-powered
generative
AI
features
enjoyed
by
desktop
users
to
iOS
and
Android
devices.
Available
to
try
for
free
today
in
beta,
the
new
Adobe
Express
app
allows
users
to
easily
produce
creative
assets
like
social
media
posts,
posters,
and
website
banners,
with
Creative
Cloud
members
able
to
access
and
edit
Photoshop
and
Illustrator
files
directly
within
the
mobile
app.
The
Adobe
Express
beta
is
a
free
download,
with
premium
features
like
the
Firefly-powered
Generative
Fill
and
Text
to
Image
effects
available
at
no
additional
cost
while
the
app
is
in
testing.
Adobe
hasn’t
announced
when
it’ll
be
generally
available,
but
those
premium
features
will
then
be
locked
behind
a
subscription
(starting
at
$9.99
per
month),
which
will
grant
users
full
access
to
all
Adobe
Express
tools
across
both
desktop
and
mobile.
The
new
app
beta
lets
you
use
the
same
Firefly
generative
AI
tools
as
the
desktop
version
of
Adobe
Express,
such
as

Adobe
Express
users
won’t
see
their
projects
from
the
existing
mobile
app
in
the
new
beta
app
on
day
one.
However,
when
the
new
app
leaves
beta,
it
will
then
have
all
the
historical
data
from
the
old
app
carried
over
in
a
seamless
migration,
according
to
Ian
Wang,
vice
president
of
product
for
Adobe
Express,
on
a
call
with
The
Verge.
The
new
Express
mobile
beta
shares
the
same
platform
as
the
desktop
version
that
was
updated
last
year,
which
means
collaborative
workflows
have
been
restored
if
you’re
using
the
beta
app
—
allowing
teams
to
work
together
on
the
same
creative
projects
across
both
desktop
and
mobile
devices.
Anyone
still
using
the
current
Adobe
Express
mobile
app
won’t
be
able
to
use
these
features.
The
processing
for
generative
AI
features
is
cloud-based
rather
than
on
the
device
itself,
but
not
every
smartphone
is
compatible
with
the
new
beta.
You
can
find
a
list
of
supported
devices
here.
The
Adobe
Express
mobile
app
beta
is
available
on
the
Google
Play
Store
for
Android,
but
iOS
users
will
need
to
sign
up
here
due
to
restrictions
Apple
places
on
the
number
of
beta
users.
Adobe’s
Firefly
AI
features
have
been
available
as
standalone
web
apps
since
September
2023
(and
are
very
much
accessible
on
mobile
devices),
which
are
good
enough
to
experiment
with
but
inconvenient
to
use
in
design
workflows.
By
contrast,
the
new
Express
beta
is
the
first
mobile
app
to
feature
them
alongside
other
design
tools,
giving
it
a
much-needed
leg
up
over
Canva
—
a
rival
design
platform
that
hasn’t
made
its
own
“Magic
Studio”
AI
features
available
to
mobile
users.
