Security

Images on Basic and Standard plans are visible in the public member gallery. Pro and Mega plans include Stealth Mode for private generation.

Adobe provides IP indemnification for commercial use. Enterprise plans include additional data security and compliance controls.

Privacy notes

Images created on Basic and Standard plans appear in the public gallery unless Stealth Mode (Pro+) is active. Review before generating client or proprietary work.

Firefly trained on licensed content only. Adobe provides commercial indemnification for outputs, distinguishing it from competitors with contested training data.
