Manipulate photos

Sticky bottom, dark

Quickly and easily change any part of a photo.

Add, remove or replace objects, swap a background or shift the mood, all by describing the change in plain language. Adobe Firefly reads your photo and applies AI photo manipulation that blends naturally with the lighting, texture and colour already in the frame, all for free.

Add or remove anything in the frame.

Brush over an object you want gone and let Generative Remove clear it automatically or describe something new to add and Adobe Firefly places it in the scene. Both methods read the surrounding light and texture, so the result blends into the rest of the photo.

Swap backgrounds and reset the mood.

Replace a busy backdrop with a clean studio look, a new setting or a different time of day. Adjust colour, lighting and tone with a text prompt until the photo matches the story you’re telling.

Extend or reshape the frame.

Use Generative Expand to widen a photo for a new aspect ratio or Generative Upscale to add resolution before a large print. Both tools manipulate the image around your original content instead of stretching it.
