An AI art generator is a type of technology that can create digital images with generative artificial intelligence. Adobe Firefly uses text prompts to generate artwork, which can then be customized into a variety of styles. Images can look like pop art, marble sculptures, clay ceramics, or watercolor paintings, just to name a few.
An AI art generator is a tool that uses generative artificial intelligence to produce artistic content from prompts. Like other types of artificial intelligence, generative AI relies on large datasets to produce the desired result, such as digital artwork, creating something totally new with a single text prompt. Adobe Firefly generative AI models are trained on a dataset from Adobe Stock, openly licensed content, and public domain content where the copyright has expired.
Adobe Firefly is a fast, intuitive way to create AI generated art in a variety of styles. It lets creators produce detailed, stylish images with a text prompt. You can quickly customize your images with other Adobe Firefly tools, or fine-tune it even further in Creative Cloud apps like Adobe Photoshop.

While many tools generate AI art from only prompts, Adobe Firefly provides users with styles, effects, and composition settings in addition to prompts to guide the generation of quality outputs. Beyond the first generation, users can take their creations and fine-tune them further with the AI image editor in Adobe Firefly, providing users with precision and control over their AI art. And because Adobe Firefly is integrated with the Adobe ecosystem, users can take their creations even further by exporting to Photoshop on the web or Adobe Express.
Adobe Firefly accepts JPG, PNG, and WebP for image uploads, with HEIC also supported for Generate Image in Safari on desktop or laptop. Downloaded images export as JPG or PNG at a maximum resolution of 2000x2000 pixels. For the full list of supported formats by feature, visit the
