Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

 

I am contacting you with a question about the commercial use of Adobe Express. I have read your terms of service, but am still not quite sure.

Am I allowed to first use the template for YouTube Shorts, upload a blank video, add an audio file to it, generate captions with a specific font (for instance blocks or outline) and specific colours with Adobe Express and then use the finished video commercially on social media like YouTube, Instagram and TikTok?

All of this would be done with the free version of Adobe Express. I would greatly appreciate an employee helping me with this question.

Thank you in advance!

 

Kind regards

Hey there,

thank you for the quick reply.

This definitely helped, however, I haven't come across my specific issue.

Could you please clarify if I am allowed to do all this and monetarize / use the finished videos commercially?

Thank you again!

 

Kind regards

Hi @orion00.

Thank you for your question! Yes, you can use Adobe Express, even the free version, to create and publish videos commercially on platforms. This includes using templates, adding your own audio, and generating captions with different fonts and colors.

A few important points to keep in mind:

  • Commercial use is allowed, but make sure any templates, fonts, audio, or stock assets you use are licensed for commercial purposes. Some free assets may have restrictions.
  • If you upload your own audio or media, ensure you have the rights to use them commercially.
  • Captions and design elements you create within Adobe Express are fine to use.

Once you confirm the licensing for any assets included, you’re good to go!

Hope this helps, and thank you for using Adobe Express.

 

Regards

Chaimaa
