AI-generated faces safe for commercial use.

You can publish and promote your commercial work with confidence when using Adobe Firefly to generate AI faces. Firefly models are trained on Adobe Stock images, openly licensed content, and public domain data — never on unlicensed or private material. Each generated face is unique, not a reproduction of a real person, which can help prevent the creation of deepfakes or the reuse of biometric data. This means you can safely use your designs in marketing, product packaging, advertising, and other commercial products.
