Adobe Express primarily uses the RGB color model, suitable for digital displays and online content. It does not natively support CMYK, commonly used for print materials. For converting RGB to CMYK, additional software like Adobe Photoshop or Illustrator is needed. Adobe Express is ideal for web and digital design, not print color management.

Adobe Express is a completely different and separate product from Photoshop Express. 

Please see this for more info about Adobe Express - https://helpx.adobe.com/express/using/express-overview.html

They can both be used for creating social media content but have very different tool sets and features.

@Sajid30836256kxje I use PS/AI, but this would be a useful feature for non-designers who are afraid of Photoshop and would prefer to use something like Canva. Canva has the option to download PDFs in CMYK, so I think Adobe Express could do the same. It would open up a lot more avenues for design templates, and for clients to manage and update design files themselves at the end of a design project.

Hey @chantelles7230449,

 

I'd like to inform you that the default colour profile for Adobe Express is RGB and converting it to CMYK within Adobe Express is currently not possible. However, you can use other adobe apps to perform this function.

 

Moreover, this sounds like a cool feature to have; if you want to share for others to upvote, you can submit your feedback here.

 

Thanks,

Amitej
