🎨 Adobe’s Firefly AI App Launches on Mobile — With Google’s Veo 3 and More Creative Power
By Sachin Gupta | June 18, 2025
Adobe has just made a major move in the world of mobile creativity by launching its powerful Firefly AI app on iOS and Android. This app lets you create stunning AI-generated images and videos directly from your smartphone. But that’s not all — Adobe is also teaming up with some of the biggest names in the AI space to bring more advanced models to its creative platform, including Google’s latest Veo 3 video model, text-to-image tools from Ideogram, and visual generators from Runway, Pika, and Luma.
Here’s a friendly breakdown of everything you need to know about Adobe’s latest Firefly updates — and why creative professionals and everyday users alike are getting excited.
📱 Firefly AI Mobile App Now Available
For the first time, you can download Adobe Firefly on your phone, whether you’re using an iPhone or Android device. The app is completely free to download and includes a handful of free generative credits to get you started (10 for images and 2 for videos).
The app was built after Adobe noticed that mobile web traffic to Firefly spiked earlier this year, especially after it rolled out video generation features. So, the mobile version was the next logical step.
You can try out several features right from your phone:
- Text-to-image generation
- Text and image-to-video creation
- Generative fill (add or replace parts of images)
- Generative expand (widen images beyond their borders)
While some features might not be available immediately, Adobe promises regular updates with more capabilities soon.
💳 How Much Does It Cost?
The app itself is free to install, but to unlock the full power of Firefly — including access to premium models — you’ll need an Adobe plan that includes Firefly credits.
Plans start at $10/month, which gets you around 2,000 credits (good for about 20 video generations). The price scales depending on how many generations you need. If you’re already subscribed to certain Adobe services, you might already have Firefly credits bundled in — it’s worth checking your account.
🤝 Adobe Teams Up with Google, Runway, and More
The Firefly app isn’t just about Adobe’s own AI anymore. Adobe is expanding its creative universe by integrating six new third-party AI models into its platform, including some of the biggest and most exciting names in the field:
- Google’s Veo 3 – A next-gen AI video generator that can now produce video with synchronized audio, a huge leap forward in realistic content creation.
- Google’s Imagen 4 – An improved text-to-image generator delivering sharper, more refined visuals.
- Runway’s Gen-4 Image model – A powerful creative tool from the AI company known for its work with film studios like Lionsgate.
- Ideogram 3 – A popular model focused on stylized image generation.
- Pika’s video generation model – Great for turning text prompts into short, animated clips.
- Luma’s Ray 2 – A model focused on realistic video creation with 3D-like depth.
All of these new tools are available inside Adobe Firefly, provided you have a qualifying subscription plan. They bring even more flexibility and creativity into your toolkit — no need to jump between different platforms.
🔐 What About Privacy and Data Use?
One of the standout aspects of Adobe’s approach is its commitment to user data protection. All third-party AI tools used within Firefly must agree to Adobe’s strict AI usage policies, which prohibit them from training their models on users’ content. This rule applies regardless of the third-party company’s original policies.
For creators and professionals who are concerned about how their work is used, this is a big win. It ensures peace of mind while still getting access to the best creative tech available.
🎬 Firefly Boards: Moodboarding with AI
In addition to the mobile app, Adobe also launched a full version of Firefly Boards, a moodboarding and brainstorming tool that’s been in beta for a few months.
Here’s what makes Firefly Boards useful:
- An infinite canvas for sketching ideas, gathering images, and exploring themes.
- AI-powered generation tools built into the board — you can create directly from the workspace.
- Collaboration features that let multiple users edit and plan content together.
- A new one-click arrange tool to automatically organize your moodboard visuals.
- Seamless integration with Photoshop — edit an image in Photoshop, and it instantly updates in your Firefly Board.
Whether you’re planning a social media campaign, designing a product launch, or simply experimenting with creative concepts, Firefly Boards offers an intuitive and visual-first experience.
🚀 What It All Means for Creators
Adobe’s latest update is a bold step toward making AI creativity more accessible. By putting powerful generative tools right into a mobile app, Adobe is making sure you don’t need a studio or a desktop computer to produce high-quality images and videos anymore. The partnerships with other industry leaders also signal that Adobe wants to be a central hub for creative AI innovation, not just its own tools.
From hobbyists looking to create fun visuals on the go, to marketing professionals planning their next campaign, Firefly is now a serious option for mobile-first content creation.
