Adobe brings Photoshop, Express and Acrobat directly into ChatGPT

Adobe is expanding its footprint across conversational AI by integrating three of its flagship applications — Photoshop, Adobe Express, and Acrobat — directly into ChatGPT, allowing users to perform photo edits, design tasks, and PDF management without leaving the chat interface.

The rollout, announced Wednesday, marks one of Adobe’s most significant steps toward embedding its tools in third-party AI platforms, reflecting a wider industry trend to bring creative workflows into conversational environments.

With the integration, ChatGPT users can now upload images, documents, or prompts and trigger Adobe tools through natural-language instructions. A request such as “adjust the brightness,” “animate this design,” or “merge these PDFs” automatically launches the corresponding Adobe functionality within the chat.

Photoshop inside ChatGPT can identify elements in an image, apply adjustments, add effects such as tritone or motion blur, and offer manual slider controls for fine-tuning. Adobe Express can generate templates for cards, invites, or social graphics, while Acrobat can edit text, extract data, merge files, or compress PDFs — all through conversational prompts.

Users who need deeper editing can move from ChatGPT into Adobe’s web versions of its apps, with edits and layers preserved.

Adobe did not disclose any financial terms related to the partnership with OpenAI. The company framed the integration as a way to expose its tools to ChatGPT’s 800 million weekly active users, especially those unfamiliar with Adobe’s full-featured software.

The tools are free within ChatGPT on desktop, web, and iOS. Adobe Express is already available on Android, with Photoshop and Acrobat support coming soon.

The launch builds on Adobe’s recent investments in AI assistants and model-driven automation across its own products. Earlier this year, Adobe introduced conversational workflows for Photoshop and Express, as well as new AI capabilities in Acrobat Studio.

By placing its tools inside ChatGPT, Adobe is positioning itself to remain central to everyday creative tasks as AI agents become a primary interface for content creation and document management.

Adobe says the integration is the first step, with additional features planned for release in the coming weeks.
