Photoshop AI
The industry-standard photo editor supercharged with generative AI capabilities
From $21.99/mo
What is Photoshop AI?
Adobe Photoshop's AI features — collectively powered by Adobe Firefly — represent the most significant addition to the world's most popular professional photo editor in decades. Generative Fill allows users to select any part of an image and have AI generate new content that seamlessly matches the lighting, perspective, and style of the original photograph.
Generative Expand takes this further by extending any image beyond its original borders, with AI generating natural-looking content that matches the existing scene. Combined with existing Photoshop tools, this enables photo editors to change aspect ratios, fix cropped compositions, and create entirely new image variations from existing photographs.
The Remove tool uses AI to eliminate unwanted objects from photos with remarkable accuracy, automatically filling in the background. Neural Filters provide one-click portrait retouching, style transfer, and photo restoration. For professionals who already live in Photoshop, these AI additions reduce hours of manual work to seconds.
