Adobe Firefly

Commercially safe generative AI built into Creative Cloud

Overview

Adobe Firefly addresses the biggest concern holding businesses back from using AI-generated imagery: licensing. By training exclusively on Adobe Stock and openly licensed content, Firefly's outputs are cleared for commercial use, giving marketing teams and creative agencies the confidence to use AI-generated assets in client work. The integration with Photoshop's Generative Fill is genuinely transformative — selecting an area and describing what should replace it is now one of the fastest ways to composite and retouch images. For Creative Cloud subscribers, Firefly is the AI upgrade that extends the tools they already know rather than requiring an entirely new workflow.
