Learn how to create an image using generative AI in Adobe Express.

On the Adobe Express homepage, select Generate with AI, then Generate image.

In the Prompt box, describe the image you want to generate.

In the left panel, from the Choose a model dropdown, select Firefly Image 3 or one of the Non-Firefly models. Non-Firefly models are available on Adobe Express Premium plans. Learn more about partner models in Adobe products.

In the Reference images section, select the icon to add a Style and / or Composition reference image from your device.

Note
  • Style influences the look and feel of your generated image, and Composition influences its layout or arrangement.
  • For Non-Firefly models, you'll only see the option to add a Reference image.

Choose a Content type and apply Styles from the options provided (Available for Firefly Image 3).

Select Generate.

Choose an image from the Results or select Generate more to see additional options.

Select the Download button to save the image to your device, or select the Share button to share it with your online audience.
