What is Adobe Firefly?

Adobe Firefly is a family of generative AI models developed by Adobe, providing creative capabilities including image generation, text effects, vector generation, and image editing. Its key differentiator is that it was trained on Adobe Stock licensed images and public domain content, making it commercially safe generative AI. Integrated into Adobe products such as Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Express, features like Generative Fill, Generative Expand, Text to Image, and Generative Recolor can be used directly within creative workflows. It stands apart from other AI image generation tools by providing the power of AI to professional designers, photographers, and illustrators without disrupting existing workflows.
