With generative AI, you can create unique images and photographs in an almost magical way. You write what you want an image of, a so-called prompt, and get different suggestions. It's simple, and you can see AI as your creative work partner that photographs, draws or paints the impossible.

Adobe Firefly is a standalone web app from Adobe that is easy to use. You write your prompt and get four different suggestions for an image. The tool also lets you make various settings. You can choose format, whether it should be a photo or art, add an effect and set colors and tones.
With Adobe Firefly, you can also create text effects, remove, add or replace parts of an image and use themes and colors to color objects in new ways.
You can use Adobe Firefly for free. You get 25 generative credits per month. If you want to generate more than that, you need to upgrade your plan to premium. Adobe Firefly is also integrated into several of Adobe's Creative Cloud programs. For example, you can use text-to-image functions in Adobe Express, test text-to-vector graphics in Illustrator or work with generative fill in Photoshop.

If you work in Canva, you can use their built-in AI tools to generate images directly from text. The function is called Text to Image and is part of Canva's own design tools. You can find it via the Apps tab in the left menu, under the AI-powered heading.
In Canva, you can also use AI to erase or replace objects in your images or create completely new image suggestions based on your design.
You can use Canva for free, but there are limitations. With a free account, you get 50 text-to-image generations and 5 text-to-video generations, among other things. For more extensive use, you need a paid subscription. You can read more about Canva's different pricing plans on their website.

With Nordvy, you easily generate new images using prompts that are perfect for a Nordic context. The Swedish AI service is specially trained to create authentic images that feel genuine and fit Nordic culture and aesthetics. From idea to finished image takes only about 5 seconds.
Nordvy works through three simple steps: First, you describe your vision as detailed or simple as you want. Then the Nordic-trained AI transforms your words into high-quality images. Finally, you can download and use the image directly for any purpose – commercial or personal – according to the terms of use.
You can try Nordvy free for 14 days to test the service. After the trial period, you can choose to continue with the Start plan (40 images per month) or upgrade to Plus (200 images per month) depending on your needs.
The service is particularly useful for Swedish companies and organizations that need image material that feels relevant for a Nordic target audience, without having to adapt images from international AI services.
