Adobe Express

Adobe Express is the free Adobe app for primary and secondary schools that lets teachers and students create content, images, videos and digital projects in a few clicks, with generative AI by Adobe Firefly integrated and safe for schools.

Unlike Canva (with which it shares many features), Adobe Express is integrated with the Adobe ecosystem: projects made in Express can be opened and refined in Photoshop or Illustrator by upper-secondary students using the Pro suite, enabling a natural transition from primary school all the way to professional academies.

The app provides thousands of templates for posters, social posts, presentations, short videos, magazines and posters. The learning curve is immediate: in minutes a primary-school student produces a first artefact worthy of print or publication. The library of fonts, illustrations, stickers and educational content is broad and curated.

The Adobe Firefly AI features built into Express are designed for school use: image generation from text prompts, automatic character animation (animate your photo), simple 3D model generation, automatic video editing with cuts and transitions, royalty-free music generation. All generated content is certified by the Content Authenticity Initiative (labelled as AI), transparent and suitable for education.

In primary, Adobe Express becomes the main tool to produce class artefacts (project posters, group presentations, simple videos). In middle school it expands to digital magazines, podcasts (light audio editing), digital portfolios. In upper secondary it supports communications PCTOs and prepares students for the move to Creative Cloud Pro.

Integration with Google Classroom and Microsoft Teams allows Express projects to be assigned directly from school LMSs.

Kyron supplies Adobe Express via free school activation with teacher training and support for the transition to Creative Cloud Pro in upper secondary.
