Spark Page is focused on helping you craft web stories. This means that you can use it for things like magazine-style travel stories, photo albums, online newsletters, or anything else that you want to present on the web. It is basically a web editing platform with tools that let you mix text and imagery in a highly visual way.
Finally, Spark Video has the capability to create animated videos in a matter of minutes. However, this isn’t a tool for filming content. It’s to help you combine text, images, icons and themes in a presentation, then speak your voice over the story to create the video.
Adobe Spark is a free service, available via spark.adobe.com, which will also direct you to the app downloads. It’s available on both iOS and Android, while Spark Page and Spark Video are only available to iOS.
