    Overview

    Firefly is Adobe's family of generative AI models for creating and editing images, and it also covers text effects, vector graphics and video-related tools. It is integrated into Photoshop, Illustrator and Adobe Express, so generated content can move directly into existing design work. Adobe says its core image models are trained on licensed and public-domain content. It suits designers already working in Creative Cloud who want generation and editing inside familiar tools. Generative credits are limited on lower tiers, and the most advanced features depend on a Creative Cloud subscription. Stylistic range is narrower in some modes compared with dedicated art generators.
