I have added vector logos to my brand library, but when used on a social post they look pixelated. As you can see in the first screenshot when looking at the asset within the library it is high res. But when used on art it is low res.

I‘m not holding my breath for Adobe fixes. 

 

Have already migrated my workflow to Canva in stead.

Still not fixed. It‘s july 2025.

 

(InDesign file with imported .ai logo graphics. AI logo exports to Express as a low res bitmap.

How is this still a thing in professional design software?

I think you can do the same things (social media images) in Illustrator and it's easy. I almost prefer to use Illustrator if I'm just keeping the file on my own hands. Of course if you want to share the file quickly... Express is better then.

Well yeah - but when you teach a subject that is to boost social media content creating, this could be the software to use. Tho we did get some pretty nice social media images, took logos ect from the Library and uploaded some images. It all went well in the end. But making a PDF instruction to that assigment was horrible. I had to say that if you have a account, there is no need to use Canva. You can make quick content with Express. But if you do PDFs... Do not use Adobe Express.

Incase this helps anyone, I've heard from adobe that there is an issue with vector assets when translating to images on export.

For the time being, the best way to get a result is to upload the asset at the exact size it intends to be used. 
Ie upload a logo at 500px wide, and use it at 500px wide on the artboard.

Obviously far from ideal, but a workaround for anytone struggling in the short term.

I came with my client to Express cause the interactive pdf had some serius issues with the brand fonts and stuff. For basic things its great but for someone who is not experinenced on the other side it it just a nightmare to set up properly a branded document looking great...

 

Then only "workaround" for me is to export a flat image from Illustrator (for example) and only put the text filds that are costumized on the client side in Express. Like that I can achive a "not that bad" quality. But really a shame that all those years with Creative Cloud!! and Library and you cant get a decent vector based aliased export from this shiny looking....garbage...

For me the big deal is that links doesn't work in Express (unless somehow with buttons..) If you want to do a interactive PDF, you have to add links afterwards in Adobe Acrobat.
