The power of AI image style transfer.

By adding a reference image along with your word prompt, you can give your logo the right watercolor effect or add dramatic lighting to a portrait you want to generate. With Generative Match in Firefly, you can use image style transfer to take greater creative control of your image generation.

Upload your own image to generate images in your unique style. Or apply a style reference from the curated gallery, which includes dozens of options in several categories, including Watercolor, Pencil, 3D, Neon, Landscapes, Texture, and more. 

Create spot-on content.

Generate assets for articles, blogs, and social media posts with reference images so that whatever you make fits in with the rest of your content.

AI image style transfer, also known as neural style transfer, is the use of an AI generator to create an image in the style of a reference image. For example, if you want to generate an image of a superhero in a comic book style, you can select the comic book style image from the Digital Illustration section of the Reference Image Gallery. Firefly uses deep neural networks to understand the style of the reference image and apply it to a prompt so you can achieve the look you’re going for quicker and with greater accuracy.

Image style transfers use trained neural networks, which learn the style features of the reference image (including colors, textures, and brush strokes). The neural networks then apply those style features to the content of another image. In Firefly, Generative Match applies the style features to the new images it generates from text prompts.

As part of Adobe’s effort to design Firefly to be commercially safe, we are training our initial commercial Firefly models on licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, and public domain content where copyright has expired. If you upload third-party reference images, you must have the rights to use them.
