Adobe Firefly Mobile App Brings Powerful AI Creative Tools to Smartphones
Adobe is significantly expanding access to its cutting-edge artificial intelligence capabilities with the launch of a dedicated Firefly mobile application. Now available on both iOS and Android devices, the standalone app is designed to place Adobe’s acclaimed generative AI tools for image and video creation directly into the hands of creators, whether professional or casual, while they’re on the go.
This marks the first time many of Firefly’s most popular features are available in a focused, mobile-first experience, previously being integrated primarily within desktop software like Photoshop or via the web. The launch underscores Adobe’s commitment to making AI-assisted creativity more accessible and spotlighting the potential of its generative tools.
Key AI Features Packed into Your Pocket
The Firefly mobile app arrives packed with intuitive AI functionalities, enabling users to generate and edit visual content right from their phone. Core features include:
Text-to-Image: Create stunning images simply by typing descriptions or prompts.
Text-to-Video: Generate short video clips (currently up to five seconds) from text descriptions.
Image-to-Video: Transform static images into dynamic video sequences.
Generative Fill: Effortlessly add or remove objects or elements within an image using AI, making complex edits simple.
- Generative Expand: Seamlessly resize images to fit various aspect ratios, perfect for adapting content for different social media platforms or layouts, with AI intelligently filling in new areas.

Choose Your AI: Adobe’s Models & Beyond
A notable aspect of the Firefly mobile app is its commitment to an open approach regarding AI models. While leveraging Adobe’s own robust Firefly Image Model 4 and Firefly Video Model, the app also integrates support for third-party models from leading AI developers like OpenAI and Google (including Imagen 3 & 4 for images and Veo 2 & 3 for video).
This provides creators with unprecedented flexibility and choice directly within the app, allowing them to experiment with different AI models to achieve diverse aesthetic styles and results. Additional partner models from companies like Luma AI, Ideogram, Pika, Runway, and Black Forest Labs are currently available in Adobe’s collaborative Firefly Boards (beta) and are slated to arrive in the main Firefly app soon, further expanding creative possibilities.
Seamless Workflow with Creative Cloud
For existing Adobe users, the Firefly mobile app offers a significant advantage: seamless integration with the Creative Cloud ecosystem. Content generated or edited within the mobile app automatically syncs to a user’s Creative Cloud account. This allows for an incredibly fluid workflow, enabling creators to start brainstorming ideas or generating initial assets on their phone and then easily transition to refining or incorporating them into larger projects on their desktop using applications like Photoshop or Premiere Pro.
Access and Usage
The Adobe Firefly mobile app is free to download from the App Store and Google Play. Generating content within the app utilizes Firefly credits, a system already familiar to users of Adobe’s generative AI features on the web and desktop. These credits are included as part of various paid Adobe Creative Cloud subscriptions or can be accessed via a dedicated Firefly credit subscription plan.
The launch of the Firefly mobile app is a key part of Adobe’s broader strategy to embed generative AI throughout its product lineup and meet the growing demand for flexible, mobile-first content creation tools. With over 24 billion assets already generated using Firefly models globally, this move is set to further accelerate the adoption of AI in creative workflows and make powerful generative capabilities accessible anytime, anywhere. Adobe also emphasizes its commitment to transparency, automatically attaching Content Credentials to AI-generated content to provide information about its origin and history.
