Adobe Firefly alternative
The same top-tier models · but you can still edit it layer by layer afterwards, no full regeneration
Adobe Firefly is a strong generative tool, but what it hands you is a flattened image: the poster is ready, one character in the date is wrong, and your only option is to regenerate the whole thing — the composition changes with it, and you roll the dice again.
On our side the model half is the same batch — we don't build our own models, we simply connect the current best on the market, swapping them as they iterate, never locked to any single vendor. The difference comes after generation: every layer we produce is an editable object. Click that layer, change the text, and nothing else moves by a pixel — then export a layered PSD. Features across all these products keep changing; please refer to each vendor's own site.

| What generation returns | A layered document; every layer stays editable | A flattened bitmap |
| Cost of fixing one word | Click that layer, edit the text, nothing else moves | Regenerate the whole image |
| Classic pro editing | Layers / masks / channels / pen tool / adjustment layers all present | Refer to its own site; not what it is built for |
| PSD read & write | Open / edit / export, layers and groups preserved | Refer to its own site |
| Price / sign-up | Free · no sign-up · no watermark · unlimited exports | Refer to its own site |
Key features
Generated images land on your canvas as a layer
Not "download then re-upload" — what comes out is already on your canvas, ready to be stacked with your own photos and CC images from the stock library and edited further.
Not locked to a single model vendor
No in-house models — we connect the current best on the market (today that includes OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini, among others) and swap them as they iterate. When a new model lands, you do nothing.
One sentence changes the exact layer you name
The layers panel labels them L1/L2/L3. Say "brighten L2" and only that layer changes — everything else stays put.
Export a genuinely layered PSD
Hand it to a colleague or a client and every layer is still there when they open it in Photoshop — not one flattened picture.
How to use
- 1 Open an image or a PSDDrag it in, paste a screenshot, or click to pick a file. On a phone, choose straight from your camera roll. No sign-up.
- 2 Say a sentence, or do it yourselfHand "remove the background and make it white" to the AI; for fine work use layers, masks, curves and the pen tool — switch between the two at any time.
- 3 Every step can be undoneEvery step the AI takes goes into the history panel. Not happy? One click takes you back to before you said anything.
- 4 Export, or hand it to someone else to continueNine formats including PNG / JPG / WebP / PSD / SVG / PDF. Export as PSD and hand it back to Photoshop or Photopea — every layer is still there.
FAQ
- Can TutuEdit's AI match Adobe Firefly?
- The model half is the same batch — TutuEdit builds no models of its own and connects only the current best on the market, which today includes OpenAI, Anthropic Claude and Google Gemini among other first-tier vendors, swapped as they iterate. Adobe Firefly can only use Adobe's own. The real difference comes after generation: Firefly hands you a flattened image, TutuEdit hands you a layered document you can edit layer by layer and export as PSD.
- Can I keep editing the generated image?
- Yes. The result lands on your canvas as a layer, so you can keep refining it with layers, masks, curves and the pen tool, stack it with your own photos and CC images from the stock library, and finally export a PNG or a layered PSD.
- Is it free? Do I need an account?
- The local tier is completely free, unlimited, and needs no account — your images are never uploaded. The few features that need a large model run in the cloud and are also available straight away; quota is managed centrally by TutuAgent. Exported images carry no watermark of any kind.
- Does it support PSD?
- Yes. You can open .psd and .psb with layers, groups, masks, blend modes and text layers preserved, and export back to PSD when you're done — hand it back to Photoshop or Photopea and it works in both directions.
