Discover what you can do with the Firefly AI portrait generator. Create a polished headshot for professional profiles, design social media avatars from a simple prompt, or turn personal photos into custom artwork for meaningful gifts. No matter what kind of portrait you envision, Adobe Firefly has the AI tools to bring it to life.
Use the Generate Image feature in the Firefly web app to create beautiful portraits and headshots of people based on an image or an imaginative text prompt.
Use the Generate Image feature in the Firefly web app as a portrait generator for free. Upload an image and transform it into an artistic take on the original or simply describe a portrait in a prompt to generate an image of a person you imagine.
Upload a photo as a Reference Image, adjust your settings, and write a prompt to guide the artistic adaptation — something as simple as “turn photo into oil painting” can produce compelling results. To create a portrait of an imaginary person, describe the image you want to generate, such as “portrait of a woman with long brown hair smiling”.
Select an effect like Anime or Linocut from the Effects section to add artistic flair to your portrait. You can also customize the angle, lighting, color and tone in your settings. Use highly detailed descriptions, particularly if you are creating an image only from a prompt.
Use adapted photo portraits for profile images, as social media avatars, to create unique gifts for friends, and beyond. Portraits of imagined people are ideal for mocking up ideas for games, books, website designs, and more — or simply as digital artworks.
Firefly is guided by Adobe AI ethics principles, which prioritize accountability, responsibility, and transparency in AI-powered image generation. Firefly models are designed to support brand-safe creation, helping you generate and share AI portraits responsibly across personal, professional, and commercial projects.

Adobe Firefly brings together high-quality image generation and intuitive creative control in one streamlined experience. Whether you’re refining a single headshot or creating a series of portrait photos, Firefly makes it easy to work quickly, stay consistent, and produce results that align with your creative standards — no advanced technical skills required.
Discover Firefly prompts to remix and submit your own images to the gallery.
Start by clearly defining your subject, including their action, emotion, and overall mood. Next, describe the art form — such as photography, oil painting, or illustration — and specify the composition, including framing and camera angle. Finally, refine the portrait’s realism and atmosphere by calling out lighting details, like golden hour or studio lighting, along with a clear color scheme. By giving AI tools these specific instructions, you enable it to generate a precise, high-quality photo that closely matches your creative vision.
When using Firefly Image 4 or Firefly Image 4 Ultra to generate images, you can turn on the Enhance Prompt feature to improve your prompts automatically. This feature refines your prompt in the background by making it more detailed and descriptive, which contributes to generating richer and more diverse images.
