What is Adobe Spark?
Adobe Spark enables you to tell stories and share ideas quickly and beautifully. Sparklets you create three types of content:
Use Page to create a story using text, images, and video. When you’re done we’ll present your story as a responsive web page that can be viewed in any web browser.
- Use Post to create images optimized for social media; you provide images and text and we’ll help with the design. We’ll even help you create the right shape and size image for each social media platform.
- Use Video to create, well, a video. Add videos from your computer or iOS camera roll, overlay text, add your voice and background music, and we’ll help turn your story into an amazing video to share with the world.
You can create individual Pages, Posts, and Videos, or you can use the formats together (including a Post image in a Video, or a Video in a Page, you get the idea).
Website? Apps? What do I need to use Adobe Spark?
Adobe Spark was built to let you create and share quickly and easily, and so we’ve made Spark available in two ways:
- Adobe Spark is an online web service, just to go spark.adobe.com and you’ll be able to create Videos, Pages, and Posts right from within your favourite browser (yep, one link to rule them all)
- Adobe Spark is also available on IOS, but rather than one big app we’ve created three more focused apps appropriately named Adobe Spark Page, Adobe Spark Post, and Adobe Spark Video
You can use the web version of Spark, you can use the IOS apps, or you can mix-and-match (as Spark will automatically sync content between devices and browsers). Features and functionality are the same regardless of platform, so use whatever works best for you.
How much does Adobe Spark cost?
Adobe Spark, both the website (spark.adobe.com) and the iOS apps (Spark Video, Spark Page, and Spark Post), are free. Yep, we said FREE! You can create, edit, share and tell the world how much you love Adobe Spark. (OK that last part is optional, but we won’t complain if you are overcome with the need to share the Spark goodness).
Adobe Spark with premium features is a paid service that sits on top of the free version and let’s you create branded stories with your own logo, colors, and fonts. It is included with every Adobe Creative Cloud plan, or available for purchase as a stand-alone plan either on the Spark website or via in-app purchase in the Spark IOS apps. Pricing is $9.99/month with no annual commitment, or $99.99 per year.
How do I get access to Adobe Spark Premium Features?
Adobe Spark with Premium Features allows you to create truly custom stories, videos, and images, all using your brand, your colours, and your logos.
While Adobe Spark is free to use, access to Premium Features must be purchased using one of the following two options:
- Purchase any Adobe Creative Cloud paid plan on adobe.com. Spark’s premium features are included with all Creative Cloud paid plans.
- Purchase just the Adobe Spark with Premium Features on spark.adobe.com.
Creative Cloud plans without services (such as Kivuto and device-based licenses) and Adobe Acrobat plans do not include Spark with Premium Features. You can check which type of Adobe account you have by logging into accounts.adobe.com/plans.
