Create stunning images you can actually use commercially — right inside Photoshop and the Adobe tools you already know
Using Adobe Firefly is like having a professional design studio with a built-in legal team — you can create whatever you imagine without worrying that you accidentally borrowed someone else's work.
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's image-making AI that turns your words into pictures, art, and design elements. What makes it different from other image AIs is that it's trained only on Adobe Stock photos and licensed content, so the images you create are safe to use for business and marketing without legal worry. It lives inside Photoshop, Illustrator, and Express, so you can generate, swap backgrounds, expand photos, or change colors without leaving your usual workspace.
