Adobe Firefly
Adobe's generative AI for images and design, trained on licensed content and built into Photoshop, Illustrator, and Express.
What it does
Firefly is Adobe’s family of generative AI models for images, vectors, and design effects. It powers a standalone web app plus features inside Adobe’s flagship tools, including Generative Fill and Generative Expand in Photoshop, generative recolor in Illustrator, and text-to-image in Adobe Express.
Adobe trains Firefly on Adobe Stock, openly licensed content, and public domain material, and markets it as designed for commercial use, with indemnification available to enterprise customers. That training stance makes it a default choice for risk-conscious brands, though it can also mean less edgy output than some rivals.
Usage is metered with generative credits that come bundled with Creative Cloud subscriptions and standalone Firefly plans. For teams already paying for Adobe, the marginal cost and learning curve of adoption are low.
