Adobe’s Creative Tools Arrive in Gemini as Acrobat Joins Claude

As promised, Adobe has brought professional-grade tools from Photoshop, Lightroom, Express, and Firefly to Google Gemini, putting them within reach of the chatbot’s more than one billion monthly users. Gemini users describe what they want to create in plain language, and Adobe handles the work, picking the right tools and applying the edits without anyone opening a Creative Cloud app.

Gemini is the latest in a growing list of chatbots Adobe supports. The creative software provider already offers similar integrations for ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Slack, and Claude, part of a broader bet that people will increasingly start creative work inside an AI assistant rather than in Adobe’s own software.

The company is also going deeper on the platforms it’s already on, specifically in Claude. On Thursday, Adobe announced it has added Acrobat alongside its Creative Cloud apps, so users can work with PDFs without leaving the conversation.

Creative Tools Arrive in Gemini

Once Gemini is connected to Adobe, users can enhance photos, create marketing assets, and customize designs with a prompt. For example, a small business owner could upload a set of product photos and ask Gemini to restyle them to match a seasonal campaign. From there, they could adjust the lighting and color or crop each image to fit wherever it’s headed, whether that’s a website banner, an email header, or a printed flyer. Creators and marketing teams can also have Gemini repurpose existing designs into social media content, adapting them to different formats while preserving the original branding and messaging.

“We’re excited to expand our partnership with Adobe and bring industry-leading creative tools directly into Gemini,” said Neal Pancholi, Google’s managing director for global partnerships, GDM, and Gemini, in a statement. “Now, anyone can create, edit, and bring their ideas to life right in the chat.”

For Adobe, the appeal is Gemini’s reach. Embedding its tools in a chatbot with more than one billion monthly users gives the company a second conversational gateway of that size, alongside ChatGPT. Many of those people will never open Photoshop or Lightroom on their own, but they may ask Gemini to fix a photo or make a flyer, and now Adobe can do that work, helping it better compete against Canva and Figma. It fits the company’s broader aim of making its tools available wherever creators already are, and increasingly, that means inside a chatbot.

Adobe said this is only the beginning of its Gemini integration. It didn’t say what’s coming next, only that “we’ll continue to enhance the experience with more tools for creativity and productivity.” That said, Adobe in Gemini is rolling out worldwide today and is available for all Gemini plans. Add “Adobe” as a connected app under Personal Intelligence and sign in with your Adobe ID to get started. 

Bringing Acrobat to Claude

Adobe announced its integration with Claude in April, though that integration covered only the professional-grade creative tools from Photoshop, Firefly, Illustrator, Express, Premiere, Lightroom, and InDesign. One update being made today is the addition of layer-based editing. This gives creators more granular control over their Express designs, enabling them ot select and customize images, modify copy, and change colors and fonts—all independently and within a Claude conversation.

Perhaps the most significant enhancement to Adobe’s Claude connector is the addition of Acrobat. With a prompt, users can organize a PDF by deleting, combining, or splitting pages; redacting sensitive information; or converting or exporting a PDF to another file format.

The company is also introducing a PDF editing feature that lets creators reorder pages, edit text, and mark up documents with comments and highlights. There’s also a Document Review skill that’ll let Claude review the document and provide recommendations and notations directly in the editor. 

Now that Adobe has extended its creativity suite to major chatbots, it appears it has set its sights on doing the same with its productivity apps. It already brought Adobe to ChatGPT in December 2025, and now it’s arriving in Claude. People use AI to read, write, and analyze documents, so why not capitalize on that by converting content into PDFs? Just as Adobe pursued conversational creativity, now it’s focusing on conversational knowledge work.

Users won’t need to install a new app in Claude. Rather, Adobe has included Acrobat in its existing Claude connector, though it’s now been rebranded from Adobe for Creativity to just Adobe. This means there’s one universal app that brings Adobe’s creativity and productivity to the chatbot.

Adobe for Claude is rolling out worldwide today across Claude and Code on desktop, mobile, and web. If you have the previous connector, it will automatically update to the new plugin.
