What is Adobe Firefly?
What it is
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's generative AI app for the web and mobile. It creates images, vectors, video, speech, sound effects and music. It runs Adobe's own Firefly models, which are trained on licensed and public-domain content, and it now also lets you pick partner models from Google, OpenAI, Black Forest Labs, Runway, Luma, Kling, ElevenLabs and Topaz. The generative credits are shared with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Adobe Express.
Key features
- Generate Image, Generative Fill, Generative Expand and Text to Vector Graphics, all unlimited on paid plans
- Generate Video (text or image to video) with Firefly Video and partner video models
- Audio tools: Generate Speech, Sound Effects, Music and Translate Audio
- Firefly Boards for moodboarding and exploring ideas with several models
- Content Credentials attached automatically to Firefly outputs
- Custom Models and IP indemnification for enterprise customers
Models inside
Adobe's own Firefly Image 5 and the Firefly Video Model, plus partner models: Google Gemini Nano Banana, GPT Image (1.5/2), FLUX.2 [pro], Veo 3.1 Fast, Runway (Gen-4.5), Kling, Luma Ray 3, ElevenLabs voices and Topaz upscalers.
Pricing and rights
The free plan gives a limited number of free daily generations across image, video and audio, including some partner models. Paid plans as of September 2026: Standard $9.99 a month (2,000 credits), Pro $19.99 (4,000), Pro Plus $49.99 (10,000) and Premium $199.99 (50,000 credits plus unlimited Firefly Video Model use). All paid plans include unlimited standard image and vector generation. Video, audio and partner-model outputs use credits, and credits do not roll over. Adobe says Firefly-model outputs are safe for commercial use. For partner-model outputs, you are responsible for judging whether they suit your project. IP indemnification applies only to eligible enterprise customers and select Firefly outputs.
Who it is for
Designers and marketing teams already in Creative Cloud who want commercially safe images and one place to try partner models without separate subscriptions.
Verdict
Firefly is the most rights-conscious generator in this list, and adding partner models makes it a practical multi-model hub. Partner models and video use up credits quickly, and Adobe's commercial-safety promise and indemnity cover only its own Firefly models.
Pros
- Firefly models trained on licensed content, marketed as safe for commercial use
- Partner models (Nano Banana, GPT Image, FLUX, Veo, Runway, Kling, Luma) in one app
- Unlimited standard image and vector generation on every paid plan
- Credits shared with Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere and Express; Content Credentials attached
Cons
- Video, audio and partner models burn credits quickly
- Commercial-safety claims and indemnity do not cover partner-model outputs
- IP indemnity only for eligible enterprise customers
- Plan and credit structure is complex across Adobe apps
