Powerful Creative Potential, Great for Fast Ideas

Likeliness to Recommend

8 /10

What differentiates Adobe Firefly from other similar products?

1. Multi-modal generative capabilities (images, vectors, video, audio) in one platform 2. Controls & editability geared for designers, not just black-box generation 3. Variety of models + choice of partner models in one place

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

My favorite thing about Firefly is that it helps me get high-quality creative ideas fast. It’s great for exploring directions quickly and then polishing the one that fits.

What do you dislike most about this product?

What I dislike most is the limited level of detailed control after generating an image. Firefly is great for initial concepts, but when I need to fine-tune individual elements the editing options feel restrictive, and I usually have to switch to Photoshop for deeper work.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Use Firefly as one of your ideation and asset generation tools.
