Firefly is a major AI image tool trained exclusively on licensed Adobe Stock.
Use Generative Fill in Photoshop — select any region, describe what you want, and Firefly fills it seamlessly in your existing image's style.
Use Structure Reference to maintain a composition while changing the style completely — paste a wireframe or sketch and Firefly creates a photorealistic version.
Style Reference takes any image and applies its visual style to your generation — without copyright concerns since Firefly doesn't copy the original.
Firefly's Text Effects create typographic artwork natively — type a font and describe a texture ('neon glass', 'wood grain', 'molten lava') for instant text art.
Use Generative Expand in Photoshop to extend any image beyond its borders — fill cropped areas, change aspect ratios without recropping.
Free tier: 25 generative credits/month — use them on hero shots only; day-to-day edits via Photoshop's non-AI tools.
