Commercially safe AI image generation inside Adobe Creative Cloud
Last updated: May 2026
Adobe Firefly solves the biggest problem with AI-generated images for commercial use: copyright uncertainty. Because Firefly is trained exclusively on Adobe Stock content and openly licensed material, every image it generates is cleared for commercial use with no legal ambiguity. This makes it the default choice for professional designers, agencies, and brands who cannot risk copyright issues with client work. The generative fill feature inside Photoshop — which lets you select any part of an image and replace or extend it with AI-generated content — is one of the most practically useful design tools released in recent years. For existing Adobe Creative Cloud subscribers, Firefly is already included, making it one of the best value AI tools available for designers.
