Collage of AI paintings highlighting faster, smarter creative workflow

Endless inspiration — AI paintings in no time.

Save time on brainstorming by trying your ideas out in Firefly, the AI painting generator online. Iterate on your favourite prompts and try out sample prompts from the Firefly gallery to kickstart your creative process. You can also create reference images for your art projects — with Firefly you never run out of fresh ideas for AI painting.

Powerful AI painting customisation.

When using Firefly’s Text to Image feature as an AI painting tool, you can combine different styles like “oil painting” and “palette knife” to enhance the painterly look. And you can adjust your image even further by changing the Colour and Tone, Composition and Lighting options — a muted colour palette with low lighting can give your creation an antique vibe, while brighter tones can produce vibrant paint AI results.
