Adobe Firefly
Adobe's generative AI for images, text effects and design assets — commercially safe, and built into Photoshop, Illustrator and Express.
About Adobe Firefly
Firefly is Adobe’s answer to Midjourney and DALL-E, with one decisive difference: it is trained on licensed Adobe Stock content and public-domain material, so its outputs are designed to be commercially safe for client and brand work. It generates images from text, fills and extends photos with Generative Fill inside Photoshop, recolours vector art in Illustrator, and creates text effects and design assets in Adobe Express. Free accounts get a small monthly allowance of generative credits; Creative Cloud and Firefly plans raise the allowance substantially. To see how its free allowance stacks up against other tools, see free AI plans compared.

Frequently Asked Questions about Adobe Firefly
Is Adobe Firefly free?
A: Yes — free Adobe accounts include a limited number of generative credits a month. Firefly Standard ($9.99/mo) raises this to 2,000 credits.
How is Firefly different from Midjourney?
A: Firefly is trained on licensed content and built for commercially safe brand work inside Adobe apps; Midjourney produces more striking, artistic images but lives outside the Adobe ecosystem.
Does Firefly have an API?
A: Yes, Firefly Services APIs cover generation and fill for enterprise workflows.
Does Adobe Firefly offer any discounts?
A: Annual billing: Adobe's official Firefly pricing page states the annual plan requires a one-year commitment and is Adobe's 'best value' versus the flexible month-to-month plan. Firefly offers limited complimentary generations to all users without a paid plan. Full access to all generative features requires a subscription. (Verified Oct 31, 2026.)
