The redesigned Firefly AI app Adobe released in April with third-party model support is now available on iOS and Android. Text-to-video and background editing are among the features included in the new mobile package, which Adobe claims will help users capture inspiration as it strikes with “the freedom to generate images and videos wherever you are.” Adobe says those of all skill levels will be able to use the app, which was designed “to complement the ways we already interact with our phones.” The company is also rolling out its AI-powered online moodboard creator — Firefly Boards — in public beta, now with video functionality.

When the updated Firefly arrived this spring, it had support for Adobe’s own models, as well Google’s Imagen 3 image and Veo 2 video generators, OpenAI’s native ChatGPT image generator and Black Forest Labs’ text-to-image model Flux.

The company is expanding that list by adding Runway, Pika, Luma and Ideogram integration. “Both new and old model providers have agreed to not use data from Adobe users for training purposes,” Engadget reports.

Firefly Boards now moves out of private beta with the addition of video. Using the AI-powered moodboarding surface, creatives “can now remix uploaded video clips and generate new video footage using Adobe’s commercially safe Firefly Video Model or with Google’s Veo 3, Luma AI’s Ray2 and Pika 2.2 text-to-video,” the company explains in a news release that covers both the mobile and mood innovations.

Both the mobile and Firefly Web apps can do things like turn images into videos and change backgrounds. The mobile app syncs seamlessly with Adobe’s Creative Cloud applications “so it’s easy to go back and forth among your phone, the Web app (where you can experiment with more models and media types) and desktop apps like Photoshop, Premiere and Lightroom,” the company says.

An Adobe blog post details improvements to those flagship apps, as well as Illustrator and Firefly.

PetaPixel details “features that make Firefly a must-have for creators.”  Among them, Instant Image Creation, which “allows users to type a description of their idea, and Firefly will instantly generate multiple visual options based on that prompt.”

A separate Adobe Firefly on Your Phone blog post provides examples of how creators are using Firefly and how it might be applied to mobile.

“Adobe’s move into mobile generative tools could reshape how visual content is created and shared, as AI becomes a standard part of both professional and everyday workflows,” writes TechTimes, noting free and paid versions are available for download at the App Store and Google Play.
