Quick check: is Adobe Firefly down right now?

  1. Prismix: prismix.dev/service/adobe-firefly — live status + 30-day uptime + incidents.
  2. API call: curl https://prismix.dev/api/v1/statuses | jq '.services[] | select(.id=="adobe-firefly")'
  3. Direct test: curl https://firefly-api.adobe.io/v3/images/generate -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" -H "x-api-key: YOUR_CLIENT_ID" -d '{"numVariations":1,"prompt":"test"}' — a 200 response confirms the API is reachable.

Common causes of "Adobe Firefly not working"

  • OAuth token expired (401 Unauthorized) — Adobe Firefly API uses short-lived Bearer tokens that expire after 24 hours. Generate a new token via POST https://ims-na1.adobelogin.com/ims/token/v3 with your client_id, client_secret, and grant_type=client_credentials. Build automatic token refresh into your integration before the 24-hour expiry.
  • "Content policy violation" for prompt — Adobe Firefly is trained on licensed content and enforces strict content policies. Avoid prompts that include real person names, trademarked characters, or adult content. Generative fill may also reject edits that would introduce copyrighted elements even when the base image belongs to you.
  • API not available in your region — Adobe Firefly API is currently available in US and EU regions only. Requests from other regions may be blocked or experience high latency. During development and testing, route traffic through a US or EU gateway if you are located elsewhere.
  • Enterprise vs Creative Cloud API differences — There are two Firefly access paths: Creative Cloud credentials (for individuals via the Adobe Developer Console) and the Enterprise API (for businesses via Adobe I/O). Enterprise clients receive higher rate limits and an SLA guarantee. Ensure you are using the credential type that matches your plan — mixing them causes authentication errors.
  • Image generation returns blurry or low-resolution output — Firefly v3 defaults to 2048×2048 output; specify dimensions explicitly in the request using size.width and size.height. The free developer tier has daily generation limits. Setting style: "photo" and contentClass: "photo" produces sharper results but consumes your quota faster.
  • Generative fill mask not applying correctly — When using the generate-fill endpoint, the mask must be a grayscale PNG where white pixels mark the area to edit and black pixels mark the area to preserve. The mask and the source image must share the same dimensions. If the mask has soft edges from anti-aliasing, Firefly may blend edits into unintended areas — use hard, binary edges in your mask.
