About Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's generative AI platform for creating and editing images, video, audio and vector graphics from text prompts. It runs in a web app at firefly.adobe.com and in iOS and Android apps, and the same technology powers features inside Adobe apps such as Photoshop (Generative Fill, Generative Expand) and Illustrator. Adobe says its own Firefly models are trained on licensed and public domain content and that outputs are safe for commercial use, and it attaches Content Credentials to generated files.
