The app integrates with Creative Cloud, allowing seamless project transfers between mobile and desktop. Whether sketching ideas, editing images, or generating videos, users can now access Firefly’s powerful AI tools anytime and anywhere.
Firefly Image Model 4 and 4 Ultra enhance visual realism
At the core of the update is the release of Firefly Image Model 4 and its advanced counterpart, Image Model 4 Ultra. These models significantly enhance image generation quality, particularly for professional use cases.
- Image Model 4: Designed for rapid content generation, it excels in creating illustrations, icons, and other general-use visuals with enhanced speed and clarity.
- Image Model 4 Ultra: Optimized for photorealistic results, it is especially suited for rendering human portraits and complex visual scenes.
These models give creators more control over output fidelity, supporting everything from rough ideation to polished, high-resolution assets.
Firefly Video Model exits beta with advanced capabilities
The Firefly Video Model, previously in beta, is now fully available to users. Adobe reports improvements in video realism, text rendering, and visual effects. The model allows the generation of lifelike landscapes and scenes with dynamic motion, making it suitable for storytelling, marketing, and content production.
Firefly Premium members now have unlimited access to the video generation tool across the Firefly suite, expanding the possibilities for video creators and editors.
New tools expand creative possibilities
Adobe has also introduced several new features to the Firefly platform:

These additions aim to boost productivity and enable faster, more collaborative creative development.
Integration with external AI models
In response to user demand for greater versatility, Adobe has integrated non-Adobe AI models into Firefly, including Google Imagen 3 and OpenAI GPT. This enables users to select from a broader range of AI models tailored to their needs while maintaining ethical and commercial safeguards.
All outputs generated using these models will include Content Credentials, providing transparency by identifying the source model and protecting content authenticity.
Adobe emphasizes ethical use of AI
Adobe reiterated its commitment to responsible AI development. The company highlighted that its generative AI tools are designed to support and amplify human creativity, not replace it. Adobe also reinforced its stance on creators’ rights and ethical AI use, ensuring its platform remains trustworthy for both professionals and businesses.
