Adobe launches AI image generation app Firefly for smartphones

Adobe launches AI image generation app Firefly for smartphones

Adobe has launched its first mobile AI app, allowing users to generate images and videos directly from their smartphones using advanced AI models. Not only are Adobe's own models available, but models from OpenAI, Google, Ideogram, Luma AI, Pika, and Runway are also integrated into the platform.

Users can effortlessly generate AI images and share them directly on social media. The app offers unlimited access to basic models, while premium models and partner technologies are available for a fee. Subscription prices start at $10 per month, positioning Firefly as an affordable alternative for creative teams and content marketers seeking speed and scale.

Mobile content production is maturing.

The new Firefly app provides direct access to:

Text-to-image generation

Generative Fill & Expand editing tools

Image-to-Video AI

Creative Cloud synchronization

Users can work with the powerful Image Model 4, which supports images up to 2K. Additionally, there are premium options with models from partners such as OpenAI, Google, Pika, and Runway for those who require more detail, complexity, or specific styles.

What does this mean for companies?

1. Creation without borders

Campaign visuals, social content, and mockups can now be generated on the spot — on location, during client meetings or brainstorming sessions. Content creation thus becomes independent of time and place.

2. Accelerated workflows between team members

Thanks to the seamless integration with Creative Cloud, team members can start on mobile and finish on desktop or tablet. This shortens the feedback loop and makes hybrid work more efficient.

3. Content at scale, without compromises

Firefly enables brands to produce content at scale while ensuring visual quality and brand guidelines are maintained. Premium models provide access to more realistic results for larger campaigns.

4. Legally Safe Use of Content

All standard models from Adobe are trained on licensed and royalty-free datasets. This means: fewer legal risks, even when used in commercial campaigns.

Strategic advantage for brands and agencies

For agencies, this means an acceleration of the creative process, with more iterations in less time. For in-house content teams, it becomes easier to test, adjust, and redistribute content in short cycles. This is essential in social-first campaigns and always-on marketing.

Additionally, sales and field teams can adjust or create visuals on the spot, for instance at events, product presentations, or client visits.

Points of attention for implementation

Cost structure: The free version is limited. Those who want access to premium models pay per credit or through subscription structures.

Creative control: While AI accelerates the work, human guidance remains necessary to ensure brand consistency and quality.

Choice freedom in models: Companies must strategically choose which AI model to use for which type of output – style, level of detail, and speed vary by provider.

What can you do as a brand now?

Start with a pilot within your content or marketing team: test various applications such as social visuals, blog illustrations, or sales materials.

Train teams on the smart use of AI within brand boundaries: what is allowed, what is not, and where are the creative possibilities?

Integrate mobile creation into your workflow: connect Firefly to your internal processes, templates, and feedback structures.

Ensure legal safety: make sure you work with content from royalty-free models or apply metadata with content credentials.

In short: For companies that want to produce visual content quickly, at scale, and legally securely, there is a direct strategic opportunity here.
