Adobe Firefly
Adobe's commercially safe image generator, tightly integrated with Photoshop and Express.
About Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's commercially safe AI image generator, built into Photoshop, Express, and the web. Its headline feature: generated images that are designed to be safe for commercial use, which matters enormously for businesses.
It excels at style-matched generation — 'Generative Fill' in Photoshop lets you extend and edit images seamlessly, and its text effects and vector recoloring are genuinely unique. For designers already in Adobe's ecosystem, it feels native.
If you create content for a business and worry about AI copyright issues, Firefly's commercial safety is the most compelling reason to choose it.
