May I download a project with a modified stock photo as a PNG and use it in wordpress

[Sonja32285219fwkt]

Hello community

I am a new Adobe express premium subscriber.

 The following question as a Adobe express premium subscriber: i choose a premium stock photo (those with the crown icon next to it) in Adobe express and place it in my project. Then i change the color, crop it and blur it a little bit. Afterwards i add a layer with text on it and download it as a PNG to my computer. From there i import it to my website on my server in wordpress .

Is this allowed, because i do not know whether my website counts as social media as well, or i am only allowed to place it on meta, tiktok and X ?

so may i export a new modified PNG, JPG or PDF outside from Adobe express on my website ?

The license explanation is not clear for me:

"With this license, you may:

• Use the asset within the Adobe Express app.
• Incorporate the asset into your Adobe Express project, and publish or download your project for use outside of the Adobe Express app.

With the Limited License – Adobe Express, you may not:

• Download, export, or share the asset as a stand-alone file.
• Use the asset as a stand-alone file outside of the Adobe Express app."
  
  what is ment by "stand-alone file" ?

No you may not use the stand-alone PNG file on WordPress because you have a Limited License to use Stock images.

But you're free to use it in an Adobe Express project which you can then share with your WordPress site.

Hope that makes sense.

Sorry but i do not understand . When i may use a stock photo in adobe express software and create a Picture with text on it, how can i publish this for my readers on my website ????

why can i download it via the download button in PNG, JPG and PDF Format when i am not allowed to use it externally ? 

How can i download a project to use it outside the Express app (which is allowed ) ??

what is ment by "share with your Wordpress site" ?

Sorry for so many questions, but i do not understand a software which includes thousends of stock photos for creating pictures that i can not use on the internet . It sounds for me like baking a cake with thousends of spices which iam not allowed to transport it outside the kitchen ??

Limited License has restrictions.

For example, you may use Stock assets in a Spark Page or newsletter. 

Add an outbound link to it in your WordPress site.

If you want to purchase a Stock Plan that gives you more freedom to use assets, you're welcome to do so.

Thank you for the fast answer. What is an "outbound link to my website" ? Can you give me an example

[Sonja32285219fwkt]

"you may use Stock assets in a ... newsletter: Let me explain how i do this normally: i create a newsletter by adding a picture and some text and send it via my email software to my customer. if i understand you correct, then this is allowed with the Stock photo ?

[Sonja32285219fwkt]

how can i print the flyers with stock photos as part of the flyer-content and give it to my visitors i.e. on a fair or in my  physical shop ?? I can not give them a link or a business card with a link printed on it. This is far from serious.

I do not get the sense of the software Adobe express . As i understand  now it is only for experimenting at home and when i will use it seriously i have to pay again for the assets that i already have paid with my premium subscription ?

=============

Use Quick Actions to convert to PDF.

Hand off PDF file to your print professional or print it from Acrobat (your choice).

Keep in mind that print quality may be pixelated especially if you enlarge graphics.  I prefer to create flyers with Illustrator or InDesign and then export artwork to High Quality PDF.

Adobe Express is mainly for creating social media content where quality is 96 pixels per inch or lower.

Illustrator & InDesign are intended for print designers where quality needs to be 300 pixels per inch or higher.

Use the right tools for your project. 😉

An example of an "outbound" link on your website that takes people to your Adobe Express (Spark) page.

Thank You Nancy

That helped me a lot.

Now it makes sense for me to learn and get deeper in the functions of Adobe Express to help me in my daily work getting in visual attentiv contact with my customers and interested persons .
