Adobe is currently the first company to release a vector graphics generator. 

Users have already generated over 3 billion images with a beta version of Firefly image generator which was released in March this year, which Adobe states makes Firefly the most popular commercially safe image generator globally. 

Previous image generators, such as Midjourney, have come under scrutiny after a report by the Center for Countering Digital Hate (CCDH) found that prompts could work around moderator systems to generate racist or conspiratorial images. 

Whilst an earlier version of Firefly image generator was released 14 September, Adobe states that the latest release of Firefly generates higher quality images as well as providing users greater control over output.
