Until November 1, 2023, Creative Cloud, Adobe Firefly, Adobe Express, and Adobe Stock paid subscribers won’t be subject to generative credit limits. Starting November 1, 2023, credit limits will apply.

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that enhances creativity by producing amazing results from simple text prompts. Generative AI features powered by Firefly are now available in our core creative tools and the standalone Firefly web app. We’re starting with images, text effects, and vectors, with Generative Fill and Generative Expand in Adobe Photoshop, Text to Image in Adobe Firefly, Generative Recolor in Adobe Illustrator, Text Effects in Adobe Express, and more. Next, we plan to bring generative AI powered by Firefly to 3D, animation, and video. Each groundbreaking generative AI feature unlocks new creative possibilities, empowering users to play, experiment, dream, and create the extraordinary.

Since generating content with AI models requires significant computational resources, we have updated our plans to include a monthly allocation of “generative credits.”

How are generative credits consumed?

The consumption of generative credits depends on the generated output’s computational cost and the value of the generative AI feature used.

Examples of actions where you are debited generative credits:

• Select Generate in Text Effects
• Select Load more or Refresh in Text to Image

Examples of when you’re not debited generative credits:

• Using generative AI features defined in the rate table as “0.”
• Trying a prompt in the Firefly gallery since opening the art isn’t a new generation. But, you’ll be debited generative credits if you select Refresh, which requires a new generation.

Generative credits usage rate table:

* For standard images of up to 2000 x 2000 pixels. To receive the above-listed consumption rates, you must use the latest version of the software. Usage rates may vary. Plans are subject to change.

We plan to offer higher-resolution images, animation, video, and 3D generative AI features in the future. The number of generative credits consumed for those features may be greater.

Generative credits can be used across generative AI features powered by Adobe Firefly in the applications you are entitled to. Generative credit counts reset each month. If you have multiple subscriptions, the total number of generative credits available is the aggregate of what is included in each plan. We have updated our plans to include access to generative AI creations in the following ways:

• Creative Cloud and Adobe Stock paid subscriptions include a plan-specific number of monthly generative AI creations of vector graphics or standard-resolution images* powered by Adobe Firefly. After the plan-specific number of generative credits is reached, you can keep taking generative AI actions, but your use of generative AI features may be slower.
• Adobe Express and Adobe Firefly paid plans also include a plan-specific number of monthly generative AI creations of vector graphics or standard-resolution images* powered by Adobe Firefly. After the plan-specific number of generative credits is reached, you’ll be able to take two generative AI actions to create vector graphics or standard-resolution images per day until your credits reset the next month.
• Creative Cloud, Adobe Firefly, and Adobe Express free plans receive a plan-specific number of monthly generative AI creations of vector graphics or standard resolution images* powered by Adobe Firefly. After the plan-specific number of generative credits is reached, you can upgrade to a paid plan to continue creating assets with features powered by Firefly or wait until credits reset the next month.

* Standard resolution imagery is up to 2000 x 2000 pixels. Usage rates may vary. Plans are subject to change.
