Adobe Firefly has expanded its reach with new mobile apps for iOS and Android, bringing powerful AI-driven creative tools to smartphones. The platform, which initially launched as a web application, now enables users to generate and edit images and videos directly from their mobile devices. This move aligns with Adobe’s strategy to make its AI capabilities more accessible across different platforms.
The mobile apps offer the same core features as the web version, allowing creators to generate visuals using text prompts, apply generative fill for precise edits, or expand images with AI-powered tools. What sets it apart is seamless integration with Adobe Creative Cloud—projects started on mobile can be picked up later on desktop or web, ensuring a smooth workflow for subscribers.
Beyond Adobe’s proprietary Firefly models, the apps now support third-party AI tools, including OpenAI’s GPT image generation, Google’s Imagen 3 and Veo 2, and Flux 1.1 Pro. Additional partnerships with Black Forest Labs, Ideogram, and Runway further diversify the creative possibilities, giving users access to specialized AI models for different artistic needs.
In a parallel update, Adobe Canvas, the company’s collaborative whiteboarding tool, now includes video generation capabilities. Users can create videos using Adobe’s AI models or competitor offerings, making it easier to brainstorm and prototype visual concepts in real time.
Adobe reports that Firefly has already fueled the creation of over 24 billion media assets, with AI features driving a 30% quarterly increase in first-time subscribers. The expansion to mobile underscores Adobe’s commitment to integrating AI into every stage of the creative process, empowering professionals and hobbyists alike to experiment with cutting-edge tools on the go.
