Adobe has launched its Firefly mobile app for iOS and Android, bringing AI creative tools directly to smartphones. Users can now create images and videos while on the bus, waiting in line, or anywhere inspiration strikes.
The new app is easy to use. You type what you want to create, and the app makes it for you. For example, if you need a picture of a mountain landscape for a presentation, you can type that description and get several options in seconds.
“Our goal with Firefly is to deliver creators the most comprehensive destination on web and mobile to access the best generative models,” says Adobe’s Chief Technology Officer Ely Greenfield.
The app includes several useful features. Text to Image turns your words into pictures. Text to Video creates short videos from descriptions. Image to Video makes your still photos move. You can also remove unwanted objects from photos or expand image boundaries with Generative Fill and Generative Expand.
What makes this app especially helpful is how it works with other Adobe programs. Start a project on your phone during lunch break, and it automatically saves to your Adobe account. When you get back to your computer, you can continue working on the same project in Photoshop or Premiere Pro without starting over.
For small business owners, this means creating social media content anywhere. A restaurant owner could quickly generate images for daily specials. A realtor could enhance property photos on-site before posting them. Designers can capture ideas immediately rather than trying to remember them later.
