Adobe’s Firefly platform now includes a mobile app
Adobe’s Firefly platform now includes a mobile app, support for additional generative AI models, and enhanced collaborative ideation tools.
Firefly’s new app for iOS and Android allows users to generate and edit images or videos using text prompts. Features include image-to-video generation, object removal, background extension, and direct editing with AI tools like Generative Fill and Generative Expand.
Users can switch between Adobe’s own models and third-party models from providers such as OpenAI and Google.
Work done in the app automatically syncs with Adobe Creative Cloud, letting users start on a phone and continue in desktop apps like Photoshop or Premiere Pro. The mobile release aligns Firefly more closely with Adobe’s other mobile tools, such as Lightroom and Adobe Express.
Alongside the app, Adobe introduced Firefly Boards in public beta. The interface lets creative teams generate and remix images and video clips collaboratively.
It draws from Adobe’s Firefly models and those from external developers including Luma AI, Pika, Google, and OpenAI. The integration of video into the moodboarding process is intended to make early-stage ideation more flexible.
Boards includes conversational editing tools, image refinement, and text-to-video generation.
Firefly Boards enters beta with cross-media collaboration
Adobe says creators have generated over 24 billion assets using Firefly tools. The company claims that paid subscriptions and new user sign-ups both grew by 30% last quarter, though specific user counts weren’t disclosed.
In response to industry concerns about AI-generated content and intellectual property, Adobe continues to embed “Content Credentials” into Firefly output. These metadata tags signal whether Adobe’s models or third-party models were used to generate a given asset.
Availability and pricing
The Firefly mobile app is available now on the Apple App Store and Google Play. Firefly Boards is in beta and accessible through the Firefly web app.
Pricing depends on plan type, with full integration available through the Creative Cloud Pro subscription.
