Feature Request - Rulers and Grids in Adobe Express

I love to design things but I am a beginner. An app that has rulers and guides is easier for me to line everything up and ultimately it is one of the factors on which subscription I will subscribe to. If I am able to line everything up the overall creation will be better and helpful in the process.

Three years later and we finally get a reply? Well I've already moved on to Canva. 


Hi everyone! 

Adobe Express now has rulers and guides functionality. Please visit 'Use Rulers and Guides in Designs' to see details on using this feature. Do share your feedback. 

Thanks!

It's been 616 days since the original poster asked about adding Rulers and Grids to Adobe Express.

That's a LONG TIME!

 

Does anyone from Adobe actually jump into the Adobe Community to not only read the feedback , but to actually made changes based on the requests as well?

I might switch to Canva reading that they have this feature.

Hear, hear. Definitely needs rulers and guides. It's frustrating to not be able to perfectly align all my elements and text. This seems to be a basic feature that has been completely overlooked.

I just spent hours designing a beautiful brochure. I need a ruler and grid to align the folds. This is crazy.

Ridiculous that Adobe Express STILL doesn't have margins or rulers. How are you supposed to maintain consistency across pages or designs without jumping through hoops. Ludicrous oversight. Was hoping to switch but I guess I'll just stick with Canva.

Im totally waiting for this. Ive spent to log on a brocher trying to line everything up. Id use the grid/picture thing but I can't get it to have an outline after making all the pics opaque.

So many time passed and still no rulers! Adobe is not listening to its customers. What else? Well, what about non existing mobile Adobe Express app for android? What about non existing Adobe Premiere for iPad? Time to start payin to someone else and jump the Adobe ship.
