You are working on a project and can imagine the perfect image to accompany it. I know that AI can help generate that image, but I know that I’ve never done it before, I don’t know where to start, and I don’t want to spend money to do it. It’s the best time to use Adobe Firefly.
Not only does Firefly allow you to generate images (and other content) for free, it also offers plenty of support and tools to help beginners speed up past their early learning curves and introduce their full images from their heads into files that can be downloaded and used wherever they need.
Firefly is a generic AI platform that runs on a web browser built by the same company responsible for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator and Adobe Premiere Pro. Firefly is extremely versatile. You can use it to create or edit images, generate videos, create graphics, and generate sound effects. But because it’s where many people begin their creative journey of generative AI.
Get started
Starting AI-powered image generation for free is not as easy as it looks. There are many AI models to choose from, but you may not know where to start. That’s the perfect place for Adobe Fireflies to get started. Adobe Firefly Tool has both partner AI models such as Google (including the latest Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Model), Openai, Black Forest Labs, Runway, Pika, Ideogram, Luma AI, and Moonvalley, among others (including the latest Gemini 2.5 Flash Image Model).
Also, generating images with AI seems easy, but just explain what you need at the text prompt and press the button and press the boiler! – Getting the results you need can be difficult. Unfortunately, many free AI engines don’t offer much support. That’s the difference between fireflies. Firefly helps you create more effective text prompts, get the exact visual style you need for your images, and helps you make sure there is room for you to include text promoting your business and the latest videos.
Firefly helps you create amazing images
Below are some of the ways Firefly can help you when generating excellent images.
Prompt Enhanced: If a text prompt fails to generate a good image, the prompt is too short and often does not contain enough details to actually describe the content of the image.
Many AI beginners write prompts like “dogs who run through the field with a ball in their mouth.” It may explain what is in your mind’s eyes, but it leaves a lot behind too – what kind of dog is it? What color is the ball? What is the background? What is the lighting like? What are the emotions in the scene?
As someone new to writing writing prompts, you may have trouble predicting all the details that make a good prompt. That makes quick reinforcement invaluable. Turn on prompt enhancements in Firefly to convert prompts like “dog running through the field with a ball in its mouth.”
“A small, energetic terrier passes through a lush green field, its mouths open wide and a bright red ball firmly gripped. The dog’s fur is distorted and shiny, and its background is eager to sway. It captures the essence of joy and carefree moments in nature.”
That enhanced prompt may generate the image you are looking for accurately. If not, you can easily tweak what you want by changing “terrier” to “golden retriever” or by describing it as “cloudy” instead of “clear.” Prompt enhancements can help you jump over the learning curve of craft prompts and reach only what you want.
Style reference: Another important aspect of an image is its appearance. Want something that looks like a surreal photo or oil painting? Or like a modern style that you admire but don’t even know the name?
For many of us, it is difficult to describe visual styles. It’s much easier to select an existing image with the style you want to emulate. And that’s what you can do with Firefly style references. Simply upload the image you like (or choose from the image selection provided by Firefly), Firefly will create an image that matches both the content at the prompt and the style of the selected image.
Structure reference: When generating images, it can often be very practical. It can be a cover page for the report, a portion of a social media post, or a thumbnail of the latest video. And it can overlay text to the right, as it may be necessary to construct the image in a certain way, using the subject on the left.
A reference to the structure helps to appear in the exact configuration you need. Upload an image with the required structure, or find the structure in the Firefly Gallery. Firefly reproduces its composition in a new image.
Other Controls: Firefly has many other tools that can help you get exactly what you need. If you want your image to look like comics, pen link drawings, grainy film photos, steampunk art, or dozens of other styles, you can choose from the Firefly Library of Effects. You can also select colors and tones, such as specifying black and white images or images that use pastel colors. You can choose a specific type of light, such as the perfect lighting seen in the “golden hour” light of the sunset or studio shots. And whether it’s floating above it or in extreme close-ups, you can choose the angle you want to see your subject.
Get started for free
Starting a firefly is free. When you visit for the first time, you will be asked to set up a free Adobe account. After that, you can enter as many as 10 prompts for free. Each time you enter the prompt, you will see four similar images to select. You can use another 10 free prompts each month. If you want more, a subscription of $9.99 per month will generate as many images as you want and provide 2,000 credits to use for premium features like creating videos.
Firefly can do much more than just creating images from a text prompt. This list includes both free and paid features.
Generated Fill: Removes an object from the image or adds a new object. Generation Extension: Expand images ranging from squares to rectangles, for example. Text Effect: Use the prompt to create text with unique styles and textures. Generate templates: Generate editable templates for projects such as newsletters and posters. Generate Video: Generate a video clip from the text description or start with an image. Translation: Translate an existing video or audio track into a new language. Text to Avatar: Generates videos using virtual avatars based on scripts. Sound Effects from Text: Generates sound effects from text prompts or voice recordings. Text to Vector: Generates an infinitely scalable vector image from a text prompt. Generate Recruit: Click to change the color of the vector image.
A platform that you can be satisfied with using
Firefly is also an AI platform that you can be happy to use. Unlike many other AI engines that are trained on data that has been scrapped from the entire web, Firefly is trained only with content that Adobe has the right to use. It also means that content created with Firefly does not infringe the rights of other artists and businesses. And what you create with Fireflies is not used to train Adobe tools.
