Google and Adobe Bring Acrobat and Photoshop AI to Gmail, Gemini

Google and Adobe are expanding their partnership, adding Acrobat editing to Gmail and Drive, Adobe tools to Gemini, and a joint AI image model for Photoshop.

Google and Adobe are expanding their partnership to put Adobe's editing tools inside Gmail, Google Drive and Gemini, with the aim of reducing how often people have to switch between apps. Google announced the move at Adobe MAX.

Acrobat inside Gmail and Drive

The most practical change is for PDFs. When you preview a file in Gmail or Google Drive, a new Edit with option will let you open it directly in Adobe Acrobat. Acrobat will also appear as a suggested app, so you no longer need to download the document and launch Acrobat separately just to make a few changes.

Adobe tools in Gemini

The partnership also reaches Google's AI products. Adobe is bringing Acrobat and more of its creative tools to Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, and some of these capabilities will also come to AI Mode in Google Search. That gives users more ways to work on documents or create graphics through Google's services.

For businesses, Adobe will add its CX Enterprise Coworker agent to Gemini Enterprise. It is designed to help teams work on documents, create graphics and manage marketing campaigns from one place.

A faster Photoshop

Adobe and Google DeepMind are also exploring a new AI image model that could make editing in Photoshop nearly instantaneous, with changes appearing almost as soon as they are made. The companies have not explained how it will work.

No release dates have been given for any of these features. The Photoshop work is still at the exploration stage, so it is the least defined part of the announcement, though potentially the most significant for creative users.
