WHY SWITCH
Why teams switch from Adobe Firefly to FLORA

Built for AI-native production
Firefly is a feature inside Adobe's suite. FLORA is a canvas designed from the ground up for AI-native work: node composition, agentic workflows, technique reuse, batch at scale, brand-fidelity governance.

A canvas, not an Adobe-extended app
Both ship dozens of frontier models. The difference is the surface. Firefly's models live inside Photoshop. FLORA's 50+ models live on a canvas built for AI-native work.

Agentic workflows on one canvas
FLORA's Fauna agent composes multi-step workflows on the canvas. Apply a Technique, batch a permutation, iterate on a region, roundtrip into the editor. No Adobe ecosystem required.

Where Firefly still has an edge
Firefly's Photoshop integration, legal IP indemnification and Adobe procurement are real advantages. FLORA's counter: you own all output, your data isn't used for training, and commercially-safe models like Marey are built in.
STANDALONE BY DESIGN
Own your work, skip the Cloud
50+
Frontier image and video models on one canvas, and you switch to a better one the day it ships. Firefly leans on Adobe plus a few partners.
Standalone
No Creative Cloud subscription to unlock the surface. FLORA runs on its own in the browser.
Yours
You own every output, your data is never used for training, and commercially-safe models like Marey are built in.
Weekly
New capabilities ship every week, customer ask to live in about 30 days, not on Adobe's enterprise cadence.
Who should pick what
Pick

Adobe Firefly
If
Photoshop's editing surface plus IP-safe generation is enough, and you don't need multi-model orchestration, an agent, or production batch.
Pick
FLORA
If
You want the best model for each job, you need agent, technique and batch workflows, and you want a partner moving at the pace the frontier moves.
