This extension enables authors to leverage the custom Firefly Image Generation Extension within the AEM Universal Editor for generating AI-based images using text prompts.
Authors can generate multiple images in desired size and directly replace an existing image on the page with a single click — all this without leaving the authoring interface.

Extension Overview

Functionality

The Firefly Image Extension provides the following key capabilities:

• Generate Images Using AI: Authors can input a descriptive text prompt to generate multiple AI-generated images using Adobe Firefly.
• In-Context Image Replacement: Generated images can be directly applied to any selected image block on the page.
• Automatic DAM Write Back: Once an image is selected and replaced, it is automatically written back to the AEM DAM at the relative path.
• Seamless Authoring Experience: Authors can use the utility directly from within the page authoring UI — no need to navigate away from page authoring to generate/upload assets.

Extension Availability

• Available only within the Universal Editor interface.
