About Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly is a family of generative AI models developed and trained by Adobe on licensed content and public domain imagery, making its outputs explicitly safe for commercial use. It integrates directly into Photoshop, Illustrator, Adobe Express, and other Creative Cloud applications, where it powers features including Generative Fill, Generative Expand, text-to-image, and style reference generation. For creative professionals already working in the Adobe ecosystem, Firefly removes the workflow friction of exporting assets to a separate AI tool — generations happen inside the applications where the rest of the work takes place. Adobe provides a content credentials system that marks AI-generated imagery, supporting transparency in professional and editorial workflows. Firefly is included in most Creative Cloud plans with a monthly generation credit limit. It is most valuable for teams and agencies with commercial use requirements, existing Creative Cloud licences, and workflows that need AI generation embedded in professional design tools rather than a separate platform.
