Runway

Still images & design

AI image tools

Thumbnails, product shots, social graphics and illustrations. The image side of the catalogue is smaller — deliberately. Plenty of famous image generators run no affiliate program at all, and this site only features tools you can actually earn from.

Adobe Firefly & Adobe Express

Adobe’s generative image model, Firefly, is built into Photoshop, Illustrator and the free-to-start Adobe Express design app — text-to-image, generative fill and one-click background swaps inside tools professionals already trust. Adobe runs one of the oldest affiliate programs in software through the Partnerize network, covering Creative Cloud, Express, Document Cloud and Adobe Stock.

Best for: designers & social graphics Commission: up to 85% of first month on eligible plans Attribution: 30 days

Also on the image side: Runway (above) generates stills as well as video, and Pictory and Fliki bundle AI image generation into their video plans. Three names you won’t find featured here: Midjourney (no affiliate program), Leonardo.Ai (program closed) and Canva (new affiliate applications currently closed) — great tools, but there’s nothing to earn from recommending them right now.
