Single Grid in Adobe Express

Hi, thanks for the answer

My design is complicated somewhat by the fact I can find a white border for the template, so I have to put in a square, with zero fill colour, and a white border, which means this asset has to sit over the image.

It means I have to swap the assets round, change the photo, then send the image underneath the square again, so the white border is on top.

Thanks

Hi @RichardChubb <>,



Thanks for reaching out! At the moment, Adobe Express doesn't offer a single-cell grid option by default — grids are designed for multiple images. However, there’s a simple workaround:

You can place an image where you want it, size and position it exactly how you like, then lock the layer (right-click > Lock). For future designs, just replace the image by selecting it and choosing Replace Image — this keeps the position and size intact.

We appreciate your feedback — a fixed single-grid placeholder is a great idea, and I’ll pass it on to the team!
