Design a lifelike AI person.

Start with a simple text prompt in Generate Image, or begin your AI human generation with a reference photo or sketch with image-to-image Firefly capabilities. Whether you need an image for a portrait, character concept, marketing visuals, or product campaign, you can quickly bring your very own AI human to life and change the scene, pose, and expression in Firefly.

Explore endless creative possibilities.

Try different looks, outfits, styles, hairstyles, and moods. Prompt to edit in Firefly to change pose, clothing, lighting, expression, and more. Describe your changes in plain language, such as add or remove objects, swap backgrounds, or refine details to add your AI-generated subject to a new environment.

Use these lifelike images anywhere.

Generate realistic AI images of people to advertise your brand, develop character concepts for films or video games, and create AI presenters for client meetings. From AI avatars to headshots to illustrated characters, you can customize your images so they fit into any project.

Take your Firefly generations to work.

Use Firefly generative AI models, which are trained on licensed and public domain content, to reduce risks around copyright and identity. (If you use a reference image, make sure you have the rights to that image for your generations.)

Edit your characters precisely to match your vision.

It’s easy to refine your images in Firefly. Write new prompts to adjust specific features, regenerate portions of the image, or apply finishing touches without switching applications. And you can export your realistic AI person into Photoshop for detailed retouching or bring characters into Illustrator for graphic treatments.

Questions? We have answers.

What is an AI human generator?

An AI human generator is a tool that uses artificial intelligence, text prompts, photo references, or uploaded images to create realistic digital images of humans, such as portraits, full-body images, characters, or avatars.

Yes, images of humans created with Firefly models using generative AI features without the beta label can be used commercially.

Together, they bring advanced creative power and professional-quality results to Firefly.

What file formats can I export AI-generated humans in?
