Adobe Firefly is aweb app and family ofgenerative artificial intelligence models for creative production. Its capabilities includetext-to-image andtext-to-video.[1] It is part ofAdobe Creative Cloud, and also powers features in other Creative Cloud apps, includingPhotoshop's Generative Fill tool.[2] Its video models are currently being tested in an open beta phase, and its image generation tools are available via subscription.[3][4]
Adobe Firefly is developed using Adobe's Sensei platform.[5] Firefly is trained with images fromCreative Commons,Wikimedia andFlickr Commons as well as 300 million images and videos inAdobe Stock and the public domain.[6][7][8] This dependency only ontraining data for whichAdobe owns the license or which is public domain has led them to describe the models' output as "commercially safe".[9]
Firefly for Enterprise was released on June 22, 2023.[10]
Adobe Firefly was first announced in September 2022 at Adobe's MAX conference. It was initially released as a public beta in March 2023,[11] and is currently available to all Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers.
Adobe Firefly is built on top of Adobe Sensei, the company's AI platform.[5] Sensei has been used to power a variety of features in Adobe's creative software, such as object selection inPhotoshop and image auto-enhancement in Lightroom.
Firefly expanded its capabilities to Illustrator, Premiere Pro, and Express, particularly for generating photos, videos and audio to enhance or alter specific parts of the media.
