Photoshop AI

Adobe's Generative Fill, Expand and AI editing across web, mobile and desktop

AI Image Generation Free plan Paid from $19.99 per month (Photoshop web & mobile) Web App, Desktop (Windows, macOS), iOS, Android

Photoshop AI is the AI layer of Adobe Photoshop: Generative Fill and Generative Expand add or extend imagery from a text prompt, while the web and mobile apps bring selection, retouch and layer-based editing to the browser. Because it runs inside Photoshop’s engine, AI output lands as editable layers next to your existing workflow rather than in a separate tool.

A free Photoshop web tier exists with limited generative credits, and Adobe sells a dedicated Photoshop web-and-mobile plan at $19.99 per month with 4,000 AI credits. Classic photography bundles remain cheaper, so light users can stay free, hobbyists take the $19.99 web plan and professionals already on Creative Cloud get the same credits inside their subscription.

Key Features

  • Generative Fill and Generative Expand in-canvas
  • Full Photoshop editing on web and mobile
  • 4,000 generative credits on the web plan
  • Editable layers - AI output stays adjustable
  • Firefly model integration
  • Works with existing PSD workflows

Pros

  • AI edits land as editable layers in a pro workflow
  • Generative Fill quality suits commercial retouching
  • Free web tier for occasional fixes

Cons

  • Generative credits run out on heavy projects
  • Steeper learning curve than one-click generators
  • Desktop Photoshop still needs a Creative Cloud plan

Our Verdict

Keep Photoshop AI for client work where layers and precision matter - the $19.99 web plan is the cheapest serious entry, and Midjourney or Nano Banana Pro cover pure idea generation.
