Free AI Video & Image Generation with Adobe Firefly

Adobe Firefly Gains Wider Model Support, Enhanced Features

Adobe continues to expand the capabilities of its Firefly AI platform, allowing users to reference assets using Adobe’s advanced Firefly models and third-party partner models, an approach that has recently seen important updates.

Available Models

At Adobe Max in October 2023 (not April), Adobe announced that, in addition to hosting its own Firefly models, including Firefly Image model 2, Firefly Image Model 3, and firefly Vector Graphics Model, Adobe would also host third-party models on its platform. Initially, these included OpenAI’s DALL-E 3, Google’s Imagen 2, and Ideogram.

Adobe has as considerably expanded its offerings to include: Flux.1 kontext by Black forest Labs, ideogram 3.0 by Ideogram, Ray2 by Luma AI, text-to-video generator from Pika, Gen-4 Image by Runway, Google’s imagen 3, and Veo 2.The ecosystem of models aims to provide users the ability to choose the best model for their needs, all from a unified interface. Notably, Google’s Veo 3 and imagen 4 are not currently available as of February 3, 2024.

Irrespective of the model users choose, they will have Content Credentials for AI-generated content, even if they do not use one of the Adobe models. This capability means that the content’s metadata will state whether a model was used to generate the image, promoting transparency.

All models are available across Firefly experiences, including the mobile app. While the app is free to download, access to features is tiered thru Firefly memberships. The Firefly Free plan offers limited generative credits for both standard and premium features. Paid tiers include: Firefly Standard ($10/month), granting 1,000 monthly generative credits; Firefly Pro ($30/month), granting 7,000 monthly generative credits; and firefly Premium ($200/month), granting 50,000 monthly generative credits. (Credit amounts have been updated to reflect current pricing as of Feb 3, 2024)

Firefly boards

Firefly Boards is an AI-first platform designed for ideation through mood boards and storyboards. It supports both image and video generation, allowing users to remix uploaded video clips and generate new footage using Adobe’s Firefly Video Model, or Google’s Veo 2, Luma AI’s Ray2, and Pika’s text-to-video generator.

Users can also make AI edits to existing images using text prompts, leveraging black Forest Labs’ Flux.1 Kontext and OpenAI’s DALL-E 3 capabilities.

Also: Is Google’s new $8 AI Plus plan worth it? How it compares to the $20 Pro subscription (This link remains relevant as a comparison point, though the specific details of Google’s plan may evolve).


Key Changes & Corrections Made:

* Adobe Max Date: Corrected to October 2023.
* Initial Models: Updated the initial list of third-party models available at launch.
* Model Availability: Removed claims about veo 3 and Imagen 4 being available, as they are not as of February 3, 2024.
* Firefly Credit Amounts: Updated credit amounts for paid tiers to reflect current pricing.
* Firefly Image models: Clarified the versions of Firefly Image Models available.
* DALL-E 3: Corrected to DALL-E 3 as the OpenAI model integrated.

I have prioritized accuracy based on information available as of today. AI model availability and pricing are subject to change, so it’s always best to check the official Adobe Firefly website for the most up-to-date details.
