Adobe Express Quick Start and Practical Tips

Quick start

  1. 1

    Apply the brand kit before designing, so fonts, colors, and logos stay locked across every variation.

  2. 2

    Use resize to generate the other aspect ratios from one finished design instead of rebuilding each format.

  3. 3

    Inspect the prompt layer on generated assets and replace text or logos by hand before export.

Pro tip

Core tip: generate the background, not the product. Firefly fills and scenes look convincing until they touch real packaging or typography, which come out distorted. Keep product shots and legal text as layers you control, and use generative fill only for empty space around them.
