How to generate AI images in Firefly.

Easily generate your own AI images following these quick steps.

  • Open Firefly.
    Go to Firefly.adobe.com and sign into your Adobe account. If you don’t have one, you can quickly create a free account. Once you’re logged in, choose the Text to Image option on the homepage to open the workspace.
  • Write a text prompt.
    Type a description of what you want to see in the prompt field. Get specific. For example, “Colorful tropical paradise jungle with golden lily pads and pink flowers and fireflies, vibrant colors, graffiti.” (For inspiration, scroll over any of the images on the page and read the prompts that generated them.)
  • Generate your image.
    When you’re satisfied with your prompt, click Generate. The results will appear in a few seconds. If you like one or more of the four images Firefly generates, use the buttons in the upper right of each image to download as a JPEG or save to Favorites. (You can find all your Favorites in the top menu of the Firefly home page.)
  • Refine, revise, and regenerate.
    Play with settings to explore different variations. In the panel on the right, you can adjust everything from aspect ratio to content type to camera angle. And if you’d like, you can add more detail to your text prompt to generate completely new images. Just be sure to save any images you like before you create new ones. (When you use Firefly, you get access to a set number of generative credits. Find out more about generative credits.)

Tips for getting the best AI images.

Use shapes as structure.

Upload an image whose style you want to re Generate a shape first to use as a structure, for example, create a white 3D sphere on a white background. Then build on that structure to generate similar shapes like basketballs, soccer balls or anything round you can imagine.

Create in stages.

Use generative AI whenever you’re inspired to create images, then reuse the images as style reference later. For example, create underwater macro photos of colorful blobs, then reuse these same images to generate flowers.

Questions? We have answers.

What is text to image in AI?

Text to image is a type of generative AI technology that lets you create images with nothing more than a few words. The AI engine receives each word in a text description as an instruction, and it builds the image based on the combination of words and their relationships to one another.

How does text to image AI work?

Text to image AI generators work like other types of artificial intelligence, using machine learning models and huge datasets to produce their results. In other words, the AI technology learns from thousands and thousands of pictures. It creates brand-new images by applying what it has learned to the everyday language you enter in the prompt field. The current Firefly generative AI model is trained on a dataset of Adobe Stock, along with openly licensed work and public domain content where copyright has expired.

What makes an amazing AI image generator?

When choosing your AI image generator, look for one that produces high-quality images, allows you creative control to make those images fit your needs, and makes it possible to use those images commercially. Firefly is a great choice because it does all these things.

Are Firefly images available for commercial use?

Yes, you can commercially use images generated with Firefly features that are out of beta. You can also use pictures generated with Firefly features that are still in beta, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product or in a specific agreement with Adobe.
This will depend on the laws of your local jurisdiction. If you are interested in learning more about copyrights, check out this blog post by Adobe’s lead copyright attorney.

What is an AI image generator?

An AI image generator allows users to enter simple inputs (such as a text prompt) to create visual imagery. Adobe Firefly is an example of an AI image generator with a text-to-image feature. Generative AI models are often trained on large amounts of wide-ranging visual data that form the basis of how it “learns” to generate imagery based on various styles, patterns, and contexts.
