Creative Cloud Generative AI Features

Learn about the generative AI features available in your Creative Cloud applications. 

This guide covers both the standard features included with your subscription and the premium features that require a paid plan with premium feature access.

1. What is the difference between AI and generative AI features? 

AI features help Adobe applications work smarter by analyzing images and making adjustments like removing backgrounds. Generative AI takes this further by creating new content—it can generate entire images, extend photo boundaries, or transform your rough sketch into an animation in tools like Firefly. While regular AI assists your creative process, generative AI can become an active collaborator and accelerate your creative process from ideation to production.  

2. What are standard and premium generative AI features? 

Standard and premium generative AI features differ primarily in their functionality and credit usage:

Standard Features:

Each generative AI action for standard image and vector features (like Text to Vector and Generative Fill) typically consumes one generative credit per use unless you have a plan that has unlimited access to standard features. Access to standard features is included as part of your Creative Cloud plans, such as Firefly web app and Photoshop. 

Currently, we are not enforcing generative credit limits on standard features for users with Creative Cloud subscriptions. Once you hit your limit, you may experience reduced generation speeds.

Premium Features:

Premium generative AI features are features that are more computationally intensive, such as video generative features.

3. Are premium generative AI features the same as Express premium features? 

No, they are different. You can find a complete list of features which use generative credits below. For more information on Express premium features, visit the Adobe Express Premium page.
