What is Adobe Firefly?

Adobe Firefly is Adobe's family of generative AI models trained exclusively on Adobe Stock, openly licensed, and public-domain content, making Adobe Firefly the safest choice for commercial creative work. Adobe Firefly powers generative features across Photoshop, Illustrator, and Express, including Generative Fill, Generative Expand, and Text Effects. Because Adobe Firefly avoids scraped web data, enterprises avoid the IP risk attached to other models. Adobe Firefly also exposes a standalone web app at firefly.adobe.com for text-to-image, generative recolor, and 3D-to-image generation. With deep Creative Cloud integration and IP indemnification for paid users, Adobe Firefly is the go-to generative AI for design teams already embedded in Adobe's ecosystem.
