Adobe Firefly review for freelancers
Adobe's generative AI for images, video and design assets.
Our review
Firefly is Adobe's family of generative AI models and apps, integrated across Photoshop, Illustrator and Express. Adobe's plans page lists a free plan alongside paid tiers with monthly generative credits. It fits freelancers who already live in Adobe software, since results can flow into existing files. If you are not already an Adobe user, the ecosystem can feel heavy and credit rules take some reading.
Pros
- Integrates with Adobe apps
- Free plan available
- Built for creative workflows
Cons
- Credit rules can be confusing
- Best value if you already use Adobe
- Plan details change
