What Adobe Firefly does
Adobe Firefly is Adobe's AI studio for generating and editing images, video, audio and vector graphics from text prompts. Alongside Adobe's own Firefly models it offers partner models from Google, OpenAI, Luma AI, Runway, ElevenLabs and others, all in one place. Firefly Boards gives you an infinite canvas for mood boards and storyboards. Adobe says its own models are trained on licensed Adobe Stock and public-domain content, which matters if you plan to use the output commercially.
