Adobe Firefly is an online service from Adobe that generates and edits images from text descriptions, and it is connected to other Adobe applications.

Before trying an alternative that you run yourself, check:
- Hardware: running image models on your own computer usually needs a powerful graphics card and some patience with setup.
- Results: models differ in style, detail and how well they follow your prompt, so compare them using your own prompts.
- Licenses: read the terms of the model and of the images it produces, especially for commercial work.
- Workflow: whether you need the integration with other Adobe programs.
