Questions? We have answers.

What are AI-generated paintings?

AI-generated paintings are digital artworks created by generative AI. Firefly is a generative AI web app that uses text prompts to generate images. These images can then be customized to look like paintings made with analog mediums like oil or watercolor and in the style of art movements like surrealism and pop art. Learn more about how generative AI is changing creative work.

How do AI painting generators work?

AI painting generators are a type of generative artificial intelligence. Like other types of artificial intelligence, generative AI relies on large datasets to produce the desired result, such as a digital painting, creating something totally new — all triggered by a single text prompt. The first Firefly model was trained on content from Adobe Stock, openly licensed content, and public domain content where the copyright has expired.

What is the best AI painting generator?

It is up to the individual creator to determine what tool is best suited to their needs. Firefly is a powerful family of generative AI models that enables users not only to create detailed AI-generated paintings in seconds and customize them, but to create complex text effects, photo-realistic creations, and more.
