The five most-asked questions
Is Firefly safe to use commercially?
Adobe trains Firefly on licensed Adobe Stock, openly licensed and public-domain content and designs it for commercial use. Read Adobe's current terms for your plan and keep the Content Credentials with the file.
What are generative credits?
Firefly features consume generative credits included with Creative Cloud and Firefly plans; the allowance and what happens when it runs out depend on the plan. Check Adobe's current plan page.
What are Content Credentials?
Metadata attached to the file that records it was made with AI and, where applicable, edited in Adobe apps. They travel with the file and can be inspected online.
How do style references work?
Upload an image and Firefly borrows its look (colour, lighting, texture) for your prompt, with a strength control. Combine with a style preset for repeatable sets.
Does Firefly do video?
Yes, Firefly Video generates short clips from text or an image, with camera and motion controls. Availability and limits depend on your plan.
