Allow to choose resolution of generated images

Please add the option to choose the resolution of generated images. Currently, when I generate images using this application, I receive images with a fixed resolution. However, different use cases may require different image resolutions. For example, if I want to generate thumbnails or print-quality images, I may need different resolutions depending on my specific needs.

Totally agree. Pretty crappy that we can not choose. Don´t care if it cost more credits

I don't think there's any need to generate high-resolution images directly; it would be enough to have an option to download the image in high resolution and keep the previews in low resolution as they are now. That's how it works with other AI software.
I would also like to be able to download high-resolution images without having to use external upscaling software, which wastes a lot of time. I don't understand why this is still not possible, given that it is essential for those who use Firefly for work. Furthermore, this shortcoming pushes many people towards other software.

Adobe recorded profits of $1.68 billion in 2024. They can more than afford to offer paying customers a half decent service.

I’ve created a beautiful design for a wall mural, but the resolution is too low. It would be great to have the option to generate images in a higher resolution and specify custom dimensions.

For example, my image needs to be 7 meters x 2.6 meters at 120 dpi.

A solution for Adobe would be to ask for extra credits depending on the resolution to offset the extra costs.

 

Adobe has specifically said they intend to do this:

We plan to offer higher-resolution images, animation, video, and 3D generative AI features in the future. The number of generative credits consumed for those features may be greater.

It is taking them long enough

Increasing the resolution from 2048px to 4000px will increase the required CPU/GPU time, RAM, and storage server resources by roughly 4 times. That also means 4 times the costs to run their servers.

@Oh.N8That would only work if the smart object is scaled down, not up. Converting an image layer to a smart object allows for non-destructive scaling, i.e. the original resolution doesn't change, but it also means that a low resolution image embedded in a smart object isn't magically scaled up with extra details or sharpness. It just gets fuzzier, just like scaling up that image destructively with the transform option.

 

Of course, it is possible to use AI/smart upscale software (both free and commercial options are out there).

 

All this said: Firefly is rather limited in its resolution and proportion choice. Free and open source genAI image generators allow for any resolution (limited to the hardware's capabilities, of course).

I am not talking about upscaling after an image is created. I am talking about Adobe Firefly starting with large dimensions from the get-go. The current size is 2048 X 2048 pixels. Certainly Adobe could change it to 4000 X 4000 pixels quite easily.

Resizing an image from FF:
If you have PS, you could transform it into a Smart object. This would enable you to resize the image w/o losing the quality.
Change the canvas size to the desired size and fit the image to the canvas size. 

Hope this helps.

Um mit Firefly generierte Bilder auch für größere Printformate nutzen zu können wäre eine höhere Bildauflösung wünschenswert.

Thanks for your valuable feedback. We'll share it with the product team.

 

Let us know if you have any questions.

i wish there was a way to output larger files! or a way to putput something other than Jpegs because you can see the compression? or is there a way? 🙂

With Firefly through the browser, you can only pick the aspect ratio to determine the pixel size  of your image (preset size for each option)/ The download alsways gives you one format.

 

If you want the to be able to generate and save an AI image in your preffered format and size, you would use Photoshop.
