About Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's AI image generation platform, with a critical differentiator: it's trained exclusively on licensed Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content, and public domain work. This makes Firefly the only major AI image generator with commercially safe output — enterprises and brands can use Firefly-generated content in commercial projects without IP concerns. Firefly is integrated directly into Photoshop (Generative Fill, Generative Expand), Illustrator (Generative Recolor, Text to Vector), and Premiere Pro (video fill). The Generative Fill feature in Photoshop is particularly powerful — select any region and describe what you want to replace it with. Firefly's standalone web app offers text-to-image, vector art generation, and texture creation. Included in most Creative Cloud subscriptions.
