Choose Adobe Express if…
Best for non-designers who need brand-consistent social posts and flyers without learning Photoshop or Illustrator, and its edge is firefly-powered generative fill and background removal built directly into a drag-and-drop editor.

Lean toward Gamma instead if generates a fully designed deck from a prompt or outline, output quality well above what you'd expect from AI matters more for your use case.
