Adobe Express suits people who want a slideshow that looks on-brand. Its App Store listing describes video editing with customizable templates, clips from your camera roll, trimming and combining footage, and text, music, transitions and sound effects, plus automatic captions, reframing for social channels and background noise removal. Brand kits keep your fonts, colors and logos ready for every design, which helps a shop or club post slideshows in a consistent style. Premium membership adds over 200 million royalty-free Adobe Stock photos, videos, music tracks and fonts, 250 generative credits and one-click resize, and works in a desktop browser as well as on the phone. It is an Apple Editors' Choice pick with a 4.8 rating from 370K US ratings. The limits: it requires iOS 18.0 or later, and the listing says some features are not supported on all devices yet. Premium is $9.99 a month or $99.99 a year. We compared documented features and published prices.
