What is Adobe Firefly?

Adobe Firefly is a generative AI engine built into Adobe Creative Cloud applications, with primary integration in Photoshop. It generates images, text, and visual content based on written descriptions, allowing you to create or modify designs without starting from scratch. The tool works alongside traditional editing tools rather than replacing them, giving you control over outputs while reducing time spent on repetitive creative tasks. Firefly is designed for designers, photographers, marketers, and content creators who need to experiment with ideas quickly or fill gaps in existing work.
