Feature Request - Rulers and Grids in Adobe Express

[Guest]

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.

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

It is absolutely ridiculous that this wasn't a basic element to this program. And even more upsetting that this was posted almost a year ago and nothing has been done. I've been using Express for only 3 days. Restarting Canva Pro already. Such a shame. I expected much more from Adobe.

Please add Rulers and Grids options to Adobe Express! It will take your app to the next level

[Jeff26934845x23s]

I agree. To be legit in this space this is a necessity. Love the app but this is a base feature.

RULERS AND GUIDES ARE SORELY NEEDED. THIS IS SO STANDARD, I CAN'T BELIEVE WE NEED TO ASK.

I'm also experiencing frustration about not having rulers and guides or grids. I'm placing text on an arc that needs to be a circle that is concentric with another circle, and it's really difficult to get the centers aligned. Former Adobe employee.

How is this NOT a baseline feature? I have never used any kinds of design tool that doesn't have rulers, all the way back to PrintShop! How in the world are you supposed to line things up and measure designs for printed projects?! Adobe is supposed to be IT in design. Pathetic.

I'd love for this feature to be added. I feel like it's actually necessary in order to maintain brand consistency across media to ensure logo placement and other critical elements are positioned properly. Let's go Adobe; make this one happen please!

[BirdBalloons]

Additionally, I'd like to see asset sizes in real time. A little stamp with "w x h" next to an image/asset when re-sizing would go a long way!

I cannot believe there are no rulers!!!! Grief!

WHERE IS THE RULER???? HOW AM I GOING TO DO ANY PRINTABLE DESIGN? 

[Filip AM]

Rulers are an essential feature!

[Blazej Marczak]

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.

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.

[Ashley31536979g36c]

STILL WAITING FOR THE GRID AND RULER. Yall gonna lose people to Canva. Canva has better designed templates, animation and features AND RULERS. It's 2024 YALL LFGOOOO

[Frank Prendergast]

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.

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

[kristynotkirsty]

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. 

[Jessica37147247jooa]

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

[dalejaceron]

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?  

[Nuwan38154494508h]

Where we find Rulers and or Gride

[Jon38595704ecnr]

Any Chance Adobe, get Rulers and Grid Lines done already!

• Still no rulers.
• Still buggy.
• Still a huge subscription fee.

Fail.

[SpanKing]

how about a basic time ruler above the timeline.. that would be a nice start 

[chasity_ragsdale]

I'm being forced to use this terrible design program but the school system I work for. They have Canva blocked. I'm going crazy not even having the basic features that I have access to on Canva.
