Get creative with AI generated images.
Adobe’s AI picture generator tool, Firefly, lets you generate images with a text prompt. That means people from all experience and skill levels can create unique images with ease using the power of AI. These images can serve as handy baselines to work from, offer a source of inspiration, or generate a range of early concepts for your next graphic design job. It’s creative exploration and experimentation made fast.
To start, all you need is a phrase. Here’s an example of how you could refine your search terms with text to image prompts:
- Start with your text to image prompt – something simple that captures the essence of what you’re looking for. For example, ‘A dog wearing a top hat’.
- After you’ve created your AI generated image with Firefly, you can customise your results. For example, if you want something photographic, you can create an AI Photo. Likewise, you can amend the Style of an image in the same way, among other elements such as colour, depth of field or lighting.
- Each prompt will create multiple AI generated images. If one fits your vision, just click it. You can even remove or add specific elements here using Generative Fill
- Sometimes, an image isn’t quite what you imagined, but you may get a better idea of what you do or don’t like. Explore new ideas by amending your prompt and discover more concepts in minutes. It’s a great way for designers to experiment with mock-ups, before committing time to the real deal.
Discover different styles for your AI generator images.
With Adobe Firefly, you can generate different types of AI images. Create realistic-looking constellations to fantasy-cityscapes, surrealist paintings, and conceptual logos. AI image generators can create a near limitless number of images distinct from one another – perfect for a variety of tasks, goals, and tastes.
Depending on your needs, you may want to use different styles. You could use an AI image generator for:
Mood boards.
Compile mood boards from AI generated images by saving your favourite pieces. Discover colours schemes, characters, locations, artifacts and more to create your ideal collage of inspiration to draw, write, or animate from.
Logo concepts.
AI generated images can include logos, which can then be used as a baseline for graphic design projects. Create mock-ups to share or inspire, then begin creating your own logo. You can even alter colours, styles and more to save time in the early concept stage.
Social media images.
Need a quick image for social media? AI generated images are a great choice to go alongside your posts. Create fit-for-purpose images to suit your social media posts, whether that’s a competition announcement, a date reminder, or something more mood-setting.
AI image generators are versatile – from abstract flyers to colour-concepts or personalised posters, styles, or mediums that AI can portray.
Customise your AI creations.
With Adobe Firefly, you can generate AI images and amend them on the fly using a range of intelligent tools. Here are some of the different things you can change:
- Aspect ratio. Portrait, landscape – it doesn’t matter. Pick the aspect ratio that suits the image you want to create with Adobe.
- Colour. Fine tune your colour palette and realise your vision in hue you imagined, without needing to start again. Adobe Firefly’s colour tool lets you amend the colours of your AI generated images. Respond to feedback or make your piece shade-perfect in a click with Adobe.
- Lighting. As any photographer will tell you, lighting changes everything. Turn bright photos into dark, contrasting pieces to accent neon lights for a synthase aesthetic. Shine light on your subjects and bring out their brightness or get the perfect backlight for that brooding aesthetic – whatever you need, Adobe has it, without the need to re-do your prompt.
- Content type. Got the image right, but in the wrong form of content? Turn photos into art at the press of a button with the Adobe content type drop down.
- Style. Edit your AI-generated image with a range of styles, from movements and themes, to materials, techniques, effects, and concepts. Ever wondered what a giraffe might look like in a neon-fuelled, cyberpunk setting? Take simple pictures and explore popular aesthetics like synthase, digital art, or more traditional effects with presents. Take your art to the next level – all in a click.
Generate AI images in just a few clicks.
Firefly lets you generate images in a single prompt. However, they may not be what you imagined first time – but thankfully, refining an image is just as easy. Curate your creation in a few, easy clicks by using Adobe Firefly’s image tools:
Image suggestions.
When you generate an AI image with a prompt in Firefly, you’ll get multiple suggestions based on your description. For example, you may want an image of a fairy in a saturated landscape. This could bring up portraits, different face models, or artistic styles, and even busts or body shots.
Choose the suggestion you like the most, and Firefly will bring up additional suggestions along the lines of your chosen image. If you’re unhappy, just go back. You can explore a variety of concepts in a couple of clicks.
Edit your prompt and undo.
Sometimes, your search prompts don’t return the results you’ve imagined. However, the results inform us as to what the AI has understood. That means it’s easy to go back and edit your search prompt to better fit the image you’re looking for.
Try variations in prompts to quickly generate images that speak to your imagination. If you’ve clicked on a suggested image, but decided you’re going down the wrong path creatively, you can always go back and start from the original image.
Generative Fill.
Got a near-perfect AI generated image but can’t quite get the finishing touches right without altering what you love about it? With Generative Fill, you can remove sections of an image with an easy-to-use brush and add in new, AI generated objects in its place. Remove a burger, add a ray gun. Switch glasses for a blindfold, or even change a haircut. Amend your image with ease with Generative Fill.

AI Image Generator: FAQs
Text to Image allows you to create images with a few lines of text prompt. It’s a type of generative AI that uses descriptive text as instructions to construct a design. The artificial intelligence software analyses the text and the relationships between the words to create images within a matter of seconds.
Text to Image uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to create images based on human prompts. It does this by utilising extensive stored knowledge, gained from analysing millions of different types of content, images, and media. It uses what it has learned from this analysis, and uses this, combined with the text prompt, to create new imagery.
Firefly’s Text to Image generator uses the Adobe Stock data set, alongside public domain and openly licensed content, to construct these images.
When choosing your AI image generator, look for one that produces high-quality images, allows you creative control to make those images fit your needs and makes it possible to use those images commercially. Firefly is a great choice because it does all these things.
Yes, you can commercially use images generated with Firefly features that are out of beta. You can also use images generated with Firefly features still in beta, unless explicitly stated otherwise in the product or in a specific agreement with Adobe.

An AI image generator allows users to enter simple inputs (such as a text prompt) to create visual imagery. Adobe Firefly is an example of an AI image generator with a text-to-image feature. Generative AI models are often trained on large amounts of wide-ranging visual data that form the basis of how it “learns” to generate imagery based on various styles, patterns and contexts.
