Last updated on Jun 9, 2026

Learn to use FLUX models to generate image variations from text prompts in Adobe Firefly.

Use FLUX models including FLUX1.1 [pro]FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra, FLUX1.1 [pro] Ultra (Raw), FLUX.2 [pro], FLUX.1 Kontext [max], and FLUX.1 Kontext [pro], with the Generate image feature to create images from text prompts directly in Firefly. You can use these models to generate detailed visual compositions and explore different artistic styles.

When you select a partner model to generate images, you'll be prompted to confirm that you're using a model not developed by Adobe, along with other relevant information. Please review the details and select OK to continue.

The Start using the partner models is open and you have the option to continue or cancel.
Review the Start using the partner models prompt and decide whether you want to begin generating images with partner models.
