From sun-drenched landscapes to fantastic creatures, AI painting generators empower you to make images in the style of analogue mediums like watercolour or oil using just your imagination and a simple text prompt. With Firefly, our generative AI web application, you can use powerful free text to image capabilities to jumpstart your creative process, explore new artistic avenues and make beautiful images. To make free AI-generated paintings, just type in a simple description to generate an image and then customise it to get that painterly look.
Save time on brainstorming by trying your ideas out in Firefly. Iterate on your favourite prompts and try out sample prompts from the Firefly gallery to kickstart your creative process. You can also create reference images for your art projects — with Firefly you never run out of fresh ideas.
When using Firefly’s Text to Image feature as an AI painting tool, you can combine different styles like “oil painting” and “palette knife” to enhance the painterly look. And you can adjust your image even further by changing the Colour and Tone, Composition and Lighting options — a muted colour palette with low lighting can give your creation an antique vibe, for instance.
Once you’ve generated an image you like, you can make targeted changes with Generative Fill, which allows you to selectively edit and replace parts of your artwork. Just click the Generative Fill icon at the top of every generated image. Or bring your AI-generated paintings into Photoshop or Illustrator to customise them even more with precise editing tools.
Visit Firefly.adobe.com and sign into your Adobe account. If you don’t have one, you can create one for free. Once you’re logged in, choose the Generate Image option on the homepage, which will open up a workspace where you can type in a prompt to generate your artwork. When you use Adobe Firefly, you get access to a set number of generative credits. Find out more about generative credits.
Type in what you want to see in the prompt field. Be descriptive. For example, “A unicorn in a magical grove, extremely detailed, concept art, fantasy.” Get more tips on how to write a text prompt for Adobe Firefly.
Once you’re happy with your prompt, hit the Generate button and in just a few seconds you’ll be looking at the results. Once you’ve generated your result, try changing the Content Type to Art or Graphic to get a painterly look.
You can customise your artwork’s appearance by changing the settings on the results page. Play with the styles options to explore effects like watercolour, pop art and more. You can also tweak the original prompt and refresh your results.
Once you’ve perfected your masterpiece, click the download button at the top of the image to save a JPEG to your device.
