Adobe Firefly
Commercially-safe image and video generation, trained on licensed content.
About
Adobe Firefly, launched in beta in March 2023, is Adobe's generative model family: Firefly Image (Image 3 arrived April 2024), the Firefly Video Model (public beta February 2025), plus vector and design models. The whole pitch is commercial safety — trained on Adobe Stock, openly licensed, and public-domain content, with IP indemnification for enterprise customers, which makes it the default pick once an asset needs legal sign-off. It lives inside Photoshop (Generative Fill, Generative Expand), Premiere (Generative Extend), Express, and a web app, with a developer API. Standard image features run unlimited on paid Creative Cloud plans; credits go to video, audio, and partner models. The honest tradeoff, echoed across independent 2026 reviews: on pure artistic distinctiveness it trails Midjourney and the frontier labs. You pick Firefly when the lawyers need an answer, not when you need the wildest-looking image.
