Adobe Firefly
Adobe's generative AI: images and video that are safe for commercial use.
What is Adobe Firefly?
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's family of generative AI: it creates images, video and audio, and powers features such as Photoshop's Generative Fill. Its big selling point is that it is trained on licensed Adobe Stock content, so its output is safe for commercial use. Built into all of Creative Cloud and also available as a standalone web app.
