Adobe is hoping to capitalize on the early success of its Firefly AI models by launching a new standalone subscription service that gives users access to the company’s AI image, vector and video generating models.
This marks Adobe’s boldest attempt yet to turn its Firefly AI models into a real product.
The company is also launching a redesigned webpage, firefly.adobe.com, where people can use Adobe’s AI models. This includes the new Firefly AI video model, which is rolling out in public beta on the Firefly website and in the Premiere Pro Beta app.

Firefly’s Standard plan costs $9.99 per month and provides unlimited access to Adobe’s AI image and vector generating features, as well as Adobe’s new AI video model. The Standard plan gives users 2,000 credits, which is enough to make 20 five-second AI videos.
Users can also connect Firefly plans to their Creative Cloud accounts to get unlimited AI image and vector generation in Photoshop, Express or other Adobe apps.
Meanwhile, the Pro plan will run users $29.99 a month, and offers enough credits to generate 70 five-second AI videos per month. The company is also working on a “Premium” tier (it hasn’t announced pricing for this yet) that lets users create 500 AI videos per month, according to Adobe’s VP of Generative AI, Alexandru Costin.

Previously, Adobe offered many of Firefly’s AI tools within its existing Creative Cloud subscriptions, letting users try the new tools for no added cost. Users could upgrade to pricier plans if they wanted more access to Firefly, but they didn’t have to. That system worked well for Adobe: Firefly’s generative fill feature, added to Photoshop in 2023, has become one of the company’s most popular new features of the last decade.
Now, Adobe wants to see if users will also pay up for its Firefly AI models.
