Endless inspiration — in no time flat.
Save time on brainstorming by trying your ideas out in Firefly. Iterate on your favourite prompts and try out sample prompts from the Firefly gallery to kickstart your creative process. You can also create reference images for your art projects — with Firefly you never run out of fresh ideas.
Powerful customisation options.
When using Firefly’s Text to Image generator as an AI painting tool, you can combine different styles like “oil painting” and “palette knife” to enhance the painterly look. And you can adjust your image even further by changing the Colour and Tone, Composition and Lighting options — a muted colour palette with low lighting can give your creation an antique vibe, for instance.
Amazing editing tools.
Once you’ve generated an image you like, you can make targeted changes with Generative Fill, which allows you to selectively edit and replace parts of your artwork. Just click the Generative Fill icon at the top of every generated image. Or bring your AI-generated paintings into Photoshop or Illustrator to customise them even more with precise editing tools.
