Adobe Firefly
ActiveAdobe · founded 2023
Commercially-safe image generation trained on licensed content.
Adobe Firefly is trained on Adobe-licensed content, giving enterprise teams clearer commercial-use rights and indemnification. It integrates into Photoshop and Creative Cloud, making it the natural choice for design teams already on Adobe, though raw output quality trails Midjourney.
