Use generative credits to access generative AI features

There are two types of generative AI features: standard and premium. Most standard generative features, like Generative Fill in Photoshop, use one credit per generation.

With some plans, you have unlimited access to these standard generative features. Premium generative features that create outputs like video and audio will use more credits because they require much more computing power.

Check your available credits

You can check your available credits by clicking your Adobe ID icon on the Home Screen of some Adobe apps, the Firefly website, or your account overview page at adobe.com. Your available credits will reset each month.
