Adobe has announced the commercial release of Firefly, its family of creative generative AI models, with native integration across Adobe Creative Cloud, Adobe Express and Adobe Experience Cloud following a successful beta program that saw some 2 billion images generated since March 2023.
The commercial release includes a new Firefly web application, a playground for exploring AI-assisted creative expression; Firefly-powered capabilities integrated into Photoshop, Illustrator and Express workflows; as well as the new Adobe GenStudio solution to solve today’s Enterprise content supply chain needs.
Firefly supports text prompts in more than 100 languages and enables users around the world to create stunning content that is designed to be safe for commercial use.
“With over 2 billion images generated during the beta, Adobe Firefly is ushering in a new era of creative expression for customers across every segment,” said David Wadhwani, president, Digital Media Business, Adobe. “Firefly’s breathtaking capabilities combined with the rich tooling of our Creative Cloud apps, Express, the Firefly web app and Adobe Experience Cloud, give creators unparalleled opportunities to work with generative AI in new, rich and productive ways.”
With new Generative Credits included in their subscriptions [link to Firefly PR], Creative Cloud, Express and Firefly subscribers will benefit from expanded value of Firefly powered capabilities as a core part of their workflows. In addition, Adobe Firefly for Enterprise is now generally available for businesses to confidently deploy AI-generated content. Customers will be able to access Firefly for Enterprise through Creative Cloud, Express and Experience Cloud.

The company is working with Enterprise customers to enable them to customise models using their own assets to generate custom content.

Adobe GenStudio

A Customer Centric Approach to AI
As a trusted partner to individuals and businesses of all sizes, Adobe develops and deploys AI capabilities with a customer-centric approach, guided by its AI Ethics principles to ensure content and data transparency. Adobe designed Firefly’s generative AI output to be safe for commercial use. Firefly for Enterprise offers businesses the opportunity to obtain an intellectual property (IP) indemnification for content generated by most Firefly-powered workflows.
By default, Firefly includes Content Credentials on every asset created using Firefly to indicate that generative AI was used, bringing more trust and transparency to digital content. Content Credentials are verifiable details that serve as a digital “nutrition label.” They can show information including an asset’s name, creation date, tools used for creation and any edits made. Powered by free, open-source technology from the Content Authenticity Initiative (CAI), this data remains associated with content wherever it is used, published or stored, enabling proper attribution and helping consumers make informed decisions about digital content.
