Adobe has launched Firefly as a mobile app for iOS and Android, allowing users to generate images and videos using text prompts, integrating both Adobe's own generative AI models and a growing list of third-party models from companies including OpenAI, Google, and Flux.

Firefly is designed to be a cross-platform hub for generative AI content creation, with features like text-to-image, text-to-video, image-to-video, Generative Fill, and Generative Expand. For image generation, the app supports Adobe's own Firefly models alongside third-party systems including OpenAI's image model, Google's Imagen 3 and 4, Ideogram 3.0, Flux 1.1 Pro, and Runway's Gen-4. For video generation, the app integrates with Adobe's own video models as well as Google's Veo 2 and 3.

All content generated within the mobile app will automatically sync with the user's Creative Cloud account. Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers can access the Firefly app's tools as part of their existing subscription, but the use of certain AI features requires Firefly generative credits — a token-based system introduced in 2023. These credits are allocated monthly to Creative Cloud members and can also be acquired separately via a dedicated Firefly subscription.

Adobe has also updated its collaborative design platform Firefly Boards, which was first introduced in beta in April 2025. Similar in format to digital whiteboarding tools such as Figma's FigJam, Firefly Boards now includes video generation capabilities. Users can upload video clips, remix existing footage, and generate new video segments using Adobe's Firefly video model or supported third-party systems, including Google's Veo 3.

Adobe Firefly is available to download from the App Store now.

I use Adobe apps because I don’t need generative AI

Well, just Illustrator these days, since I have good replacements for everything else
 
People who don't use AI will be left behind. Sorry, but that's just true. You can hate AI tools all you want, but that doesn't mean your career won't be affected.
And this is the problem right here. We’re all caught in a catch-22 situation. No one wants to use this AI slop, but if we don’t accept that it’s here then we will in fact be left behind.
 
AI in PS is great for mundane chores, it speeds up your workflow, but it's lacking quality wise most of the time. The anti AI thing was last years mantra, this year it's 'how am I going to deal with it' because 'deal with it' is something you will have to, like it or not.
