Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use Firefly-generated outputs commercially?
• Generally, outputs from generative AI features, including Firefly, can be used commercially. However, if Adobe specifies that a beta feature cannot be used commercially, then outputs from that feature are for personal use only.
• How can I get the best results from Firefly?
• The quality of Firefly's outputs heavily depends on the specificity of your prompts. Providing detailed descriptions, adding reference images, and selecting appropriate styles and effects can significantly enhance the results.
• Why is there a watermark on the image when I download it?
• Free users may notice watermarks on downloaded content created with Firefly. To remove the watermark, subscribe to a Firefly premium plan.
• Where does Firefly get its data from?
• The current Firefly generative AI models were trained on a dataset of licensed content, such as Adobe Stock, along with public domain content. As Firefly evolves, Adobe is exploring ways for creators to be able to train the machine learning model with their own assets so they can generate content that matches their unique style, branding, and design language without the influence of other creators’ content. Adobe will continue to listen to and work with the creative community to address future developments to the Firefly training models.
