Adobe Firefly
Generative fill and expand inside Adobe’s ecosystem, trained on licensed content — the reason many studios allow it.
AI TOOLS · AI IMAGE EDITING
AI image editing.
Fill, expand, replace — inside an existing photo.
Generative editing is about changing part of an image without regenerating all of it: remove an object, extend the frame, replace the sky. The tools differ in how much control they give you over the rest of the picture.
6 tools in this group
Krea
A canvas that regenerates as you draw. Good for exploring a direction quickly rather than finishing one image.
Clipdrop
Cleanup, background replacement and uncrop as separate single-purpose tools, which is often all a product photo needs.
Canva
Edits live inside a design system with templates and brand assets. The right shape when the output is a social post, not a raw file.
Photopea
Layer-based editing in the browser, free. Everything the AI tools are trying to replace, when precision matters more than speed.
Add text to a photo
Puts text on an image in the browser with nothing uploaded. For labels and captions this beats an AI edit.

QUICK ANSWERS
When should I not use generative fill?
Anywhere the image is evidence: products in a claim, insurance, journalism. Inpainted pixels are generated, not photographed.
Does generative fill keep the rest of the image intact?
Mostly. Look closely at the boundary — some tools shift grain or colour just outside the selection.
What is uncrop?
Extending the canvas beyond the original frame with generated content. Useful for changing the aspect ratio for a different channel.
