Adobe InDesign, the professional tool used to design magazines, books, and marketing materials, added a beta AI feature in April 2024 that lets designers generate images from text prompts directly inside a layout — without switching to a separate application.

ext to Image in InDesign is powered by the Firefly Image Model and launched in beta with InDesign version 19.4. Users can also use Generative Fill and Generative Expand to manipulate placed images within layout frames. Exported documents include Content Credentials recording that AI was used in creation. Adobe has positioned this as a workflow time-saver for layout artists who currently leave InDesign to source or generate visuals.
