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.

Please, Please, Please add this feature in. We would love to see a measuring tool & ruler in Adobe Express. What can users do to help move this request forward?
It would also be great to add in bleeds.

It's been over a year and we still have no ruler or guides. Please add Adobe Express!

I cannot believe this. I just campaigned to move my clients work to AE as I really dont like canva and now I realise that this most basic of basic things is missing. I am baffled. I have been using Adobe products since the 1990s and would never have guessed in my wildest dreams that I couldnt assign some rulers to designs so my clients understadn the templates properly. SOOO disapointed.

Please add rulers or I will go back to Canva. If you respect your users as true creators you will address this major flaw

Not only for aligning elements in a design are rulers and guides helpful but rulers are needed simply to see how large of a document you are working on. Being able to switch units of measurement is also so helpful with rulers: millimeters to inches, even picas and back again.

Yes, PLEASE add rulers!

I need rulers so bad, might have to switch platforms if they don't get added soon 😞

Agreed. I find the fact that there is no way to measure or align things, very challenging and for this reason I flip back to Canva almost every time.

2023 and still no ruller or guide lines, so disappointing!

I usually use Canva (free) for its good designs, but dont want to pay, because I have Adobe and full access to Express. So sometimes I ends up in Express, where I can get the detailes like lines, boxes and stuf. I wish for better looking templets and RULERS AND GUIDE LINES! Please make it happen! 😊

In full agreement with other commenters, Express needs rulers!
Coworkers in different departments here use Canva while I use the full Adobe Creative Suite, including Stock. We want to port them to Express rather than Canva because of the Stock availability, but certain missing features (like the ruler) prevent me from choosing Express sometimes.

Hey everyone!
Thanks for sharing your feedback about the much-needed ruler feature. Your input is genuinely appreciated!
Please vote here (if you haven't already) to catch our engineering team's attention, as this feature is #LongOverdue. 😞
Let's show our support and hopefully implement it as soon as possible.
Thank you all for your fantastic support!

Tried to vote, got 404'd. Can't believe there still aren't grids and rules in this app.

I love express and I hate Canva. But something both tools are missing are rulers and guides. Or the ability to show a grid. At the very least just something to show the rule of thirds on a project.

Hello, couldn't agree more. The team has been made aware by several people. There are work arounds, using shapes and lines to help with layout or searching for grids or lined/grid paper in Desing Assets and using that as an overlay. Not a solution, just a work around. Good luck!

I'm about to switch platforms because of this issue. It's been nearly a year since someone brought it up here, and it should be standard in any sort of design software. And to boot, I just contacted help about this and the person said they would help me, then didn't answer, then didn't, then sent me to some closed office and disappeared without giving me a chance to respond. Frustrating.

Hi @laurak11512052,
Thank you for sharing your feedback.
You're not alone here, and I understand your frustration.
Would you mind helping us by voting?
I'm trying to encourage as many users to vote to highlight its importance to our product team to implement this as soon as possible.
I appreciate ❤️ any help,
Lyn 🙂

Thanks for your reply, but this is such a basic thing, the product team should have figured it out by now. We're not asking for some cool gimmick (which might justify a vote, I guess), but a basic digital design tool. I'm really kind of shocked they didn't think of it already. I recently got Adobe Express and for a while couldn't believe this feature is missing. And if the product team hasn't started working on it yet (and hasn't even decided to, apparently), then I guess I need to find a better designed program. I like many of the AE features, so this is really a pity...

You must be able to see that asking your existing users to 'up vote' such an essential feature is pretty ridiculous. Having rulers and guides in a design program should be a given, not something a product team needs validation or encouragement on.
