In short

If you live in the Adobe ecosystem and want Firefly generative fill in a layout tool, Express Premium ($9.99/mo) fits — but Firefly's commercial terms vary by content type and remain unclear at every tier. Verify before monetizing. Verified May 2026.

Best for

Bringing Firefly generative fill into a familiar layout tool without leaving the Adobe ecosystem
When you need generative fill on existing photos rather than fully AI-generated images

Watch out for

Commercial use is unclear at all tiers — verify Firefly ToS before monetizing
Free tier may add watermarks on export; upgrading mid-project does not retroactively clean earlier exports
