Overview
Firefly is Adobe's answer to the licensing problem. It is trained on licensed and public-domain material, ships with indemnification for enterprise customers, and plugs into Photoshop and Illustrator where the work already happens.
Key Features
Generative Fill and Expand
Repaint or extend part of an existing image inside Photoshop while keeping perspective and lighting consistent.
Text effects and recolour
Generate styled typography and vector recolours that stay editable.
Commercially safe training data
Indemnified output for enterprise plans β the reason agencies pick it over cheaper models.
How to Use
- Open Photoshop, Illustrator or the standalone Firefly web app.
- Select a region, then type what should appear; Generative Fill blends it in.
- Use Structure and Style reference to keep results consistent with the rest of the asset.
- Export layered files so a designer can still adjust the result.
Core Advantages
- βClear commercial licensing, which most image models cannot promise.
- βEdits stay inside professional, layered workflows.
- βCredits are shared across Adobe apps you probably already own.

Our Verdict
Buy it for the paperwork as much as the pixels. Artistic quality trails Midjourney, but when a legal team has to sign off, Firefly is the fastest route to "yes".
