Description
Easy graphic design with files directly from Kontainer
Adobe Express is a fast design tool from Adobe for social media, video, posters, and marketing material – available both in the browser and as an app. With the integration to Kontainer DAM, teams can work faster when producing visual content, because all approved files are gathered in one place.
Instead of uploading files manually, users can search for and fetch images, videos, logos, or documents directly into Adobe Express via the Kontainer add-on. All material is pulled from your central DAM, where it is organized with metadata, tags, and versions. This ensures everyone works with the newest, brand-approved files.
For many organizations, it’s a challenge that outdated logos, old images, or graphics without proper rights are used. This integration removes that risk, saves time, and makes the design process both faster and safer.

Add-on for Adobe Express
Why is a DAM integration important for Adobe Express?
Adobe Express is built to produce content quickly – often at a high pace for social media, campaigns, and ads. Without a central DAM solution, teams often end up uploading the same file over and over, or using outdated versions of logos and images.
With Kontainer DAM as the single source of truth for digital assets, Adobe Express becomes just an output tool – not a file archive. This means the organization has full control over what is used in external campaigns, posts, and marketing material. The result is more professional communication, time savings, and a stronger brand.
At the same time, GDPR compliance and advanced access management ensure that only approved files are used.
