Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly is trained exclusively on licensed Adobe Stock content and public domain materials, never on user data or scraped internet content. This ethical training approach ensures that all generated images, videos, audio, and vectors are commercially safe and free from copyright infringement concerns. Additionally, Firefly includes Content Credentials technology that provides transparent attribution and provenance information for AI-generated assets, giving creators and businesses legal peace of mind when using outputs in commercial projects.

Yes, Adobe Firefly is available as a standalone service at firefly.adobe.com with its own pricing tiers starting from a free plan with limited credits. You can subscribe to Firefly Standard at $9.99/month or Firefly Pro at $19.99/month without needing a full Creative Cloud subscription. However, Firefly is also integrated into Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Adobe Express, so if you already have Creative Cloud, you can access Firefly features directly within those applications for seamless workflow integration.

Adobe Firefly uses a credit-based system where different features consume varying amounts of credits. For example, generating a five-second AI video uses approximately 100 credits, while image generation and standard features like Generative Fill in Photoshop web and mobile are unlimited in Pro and Premium tiers. The Standard plan includes 2000 monthly credits, Pro offers 4000 credits, and Premium provides 50000 credits. Promotional unlimited generation periods ended in January 2026, and the current system balances flexible usage across images, video, audio, and vector generation based on your subscription tier.

Adobe Firefly powers generative AI features directly within Creative Cloud applications, enabling seamless creative workflows. In Photoshop, Firefly enables Generative Fill and Generative Expand for intelligent image editing. In Illustrator, it generates vector graphics from text prompts. Adobe Express includes Firefly-powered templates and design tools, while Premiere Pro integrates video generation capabilities. This integration means you can generate content in Firefly's web interface or directly within your preferred Adobe app, moving fluidly between ideation and production without switching platforms or exporting files.

Adobe Firefly Pro tier subscribers gain access to third-party generative AI models including Google Gemini, OpenAI models, and Flux alongside Adobe's native Firefly models. This multi-model approach allows creators to choose the best AI engine for specific tasks, comparing outputs and selecting the most suitable results for their projects. The integration maintains Adobe's commitment to commercially safe usage while expanding creative possibilities, and all third-party model outputs are subject to the same Content Credentials transparency standards as native Firefly generations.

Users retain full ownership of content they create using Adobe Firefly, whether generated from text prompts or edited using Firefly's AI tools. Adobe does not claim rights to your creations, and you are free to use Firefly-generated images, videos, audio, and vectors in commercial projects according to your subscription tier's licensing terms. Free tier users have personal use rights, while paid subscribers receive commercial use rights. This creator-friendly approach, combined with Firefly's ethically trained models, ensures you can confidently use AI-generated content in professional work without legal concerns.
