What is Adobe Firefly?

Adobe Firefly is a web studio for generating and editing images, video, and audio from a prompt, with tools such as remove, expand, upscale, and Firefly Boards. A free plan offers limited daily generations; paid plans add monthly credits. Adobe says Firefly models do not train on your uploads and that Firefly-model outputs are safe for commercial use.

What you can do with it

Firefly is both a standalone studio and the generative technology Adobe also uses inside its other apps. On the product page, the first task is generate image: you enter a prompt, choose a model such as Firefly Image 5, and generate. The same studio covers upscaling, expanding a canvas, removing an object, generating video or image-to-video, and generating speech. Firefly Boards are offered for mood boards that mix generated images and video. A timeline is described for combining your footage with generated clips, cleaning up audio, and adding captions.

Paid plans raise the monthly credit pool, raise concurrent generations (1 on Free, 2 on Standard, 4 on Pro, 6 on Pro Plus), and, for a first year on Pro and Pro Plus, advertise unlimited image generations on select or all models. Pro Plus also lists unlimited video generations on select models for that first year, plus Firefly Graph in beta. Adobe states that Firefly models never train on what you create or upload, and that everything generated with Firefly models is safe for commercial use. Those are Adobe's terms; read them for your use case, especially if you use partner models whose terms may differ.

A first workflow to try

On the Firefly product page, use the Generate image box (or choose Create now) without buying a plan, if you are on the free daily allowance. Write a short prompt for a single still, leave or select Firefly Image 5, and generate. Inspect the result for the details you asked for, then try one edit the site highlights, such as expand or remove object, before you spend credits on video. If you need more than the daily free allowance, compare Standard with the promotional Pro price, and check when the December 6, 2026 promotion ends.

Plans and access

You do not need a paid plan to start. Adobe says the free plan includes limited daily generations and access to popular models such as Nano Banana and Luma Ray 3.14, plus image and video editors and Firefly Boards. The pricing card above lists the individual monthly US prices checked November 11, 2026, including the Pro and Pro Plus promotions that end December 6, 2026, and the first-year unlimited-generation offers on those plans. Confirm the price, tax, and promotional terms at checkout for your region. Adobe's help article on the unlimited generations special offer, last updated October 27, 2026, says the first-year offer applies to individual Firefly Pro, Pro Plus, and Premium plans (and some credit packs), only on firefly.adobe.com and the Firefly mobile app, not in other Adobe apps, and that after the first year users return to consuming credits. Teams and Enterprise plans are not included.

The same page's FAQ also lists Firefly Premium at US$199.99/month, and it says all paid plans include unlimited standard image and vector generations, with credits reserved for premium features such as video, audio, and partner model outputs. A comparison table adds estimates for audio translation, sound effects, and music minutes. If you run out of credits, Adobe points to credit add-on plans. Business and student tabs exist on the plans page and were not used for the figures in this profile.
