Adobe and Google are expanding their strategic partnership to bring Adobe's creative and productivity tools deeper into Google's ecosystem, while also integrating Google's latest AI models into Adobe's apps. The expanded collaboration was announced at Adobe MAX and is aimed at making creative and document workflows more connected across Google Workspace, Gemini, Google Search and Adobe's own platforms.
New Features Coming To Adobe Ecosystem
Under the partnership, Acrobat will be integrated into Google Workspace, while Adobe will expand its connectors across Gemini and Gemini Enterprise. Adobe's creative tools will also be brought to AI Mode in Google Search, allowing users to move from discovering an idea to working on it with Adobe tools.
At the same time, Google's latest imaging and video models will be integrated into Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express. Google Gemini models will also be added to the AI capabilities powering Acrobat.
One of the most visible changes will be the arrival of Adobe Acrobat inside Google Workspace. Users will be able to access Acrobat directly through Google Drive and Gmail, including an "Edit with" option appearing in file previews. This will provide a more direct route from Google's productivity services into Acrobat, particularly for users who regularly work with PDF documents. Adobe says more than 400 billion PDFs are opened with Acrobat each year, highlighting the scale of the potential integration.
Adobe is also expanding the AI models available inside Acrobat by adding Google's AI models to the existing range of models powering its document intelligence features.
These capabilities allow users to edit PDFs conversationally, understand information within documents and create assets such as presentations, resumes and reports. This means Adobe is effectively combining its document workflows with Google's AI capabilities, giving users more ways to work with PDFs without relying entirely on traditional manual editing.
Adobe is also expanding its presence within Google's AI experiences. The companies will extend Adobe's integrations in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, adding Acrobat alongside additional creative tools. Users will be able to enhance images, customise designs and work with PDFs directly within their conversations.
Adobe will also bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search, allowing users to move from searching for an idea to turning that idea into creative work within the same broader workflow.
Adobe is continuing its partner-model approach by bringing Google's latest AI models into its creative applications.
Users of Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express will get access to Google's latest image and video models. Adobe says customers can already use models including Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana through its tools. The approach gives Adobe users access to multiple AI models while retaining the editing controls and workflows of Adobe's professional creative software.
Adobe and Google DeepMind Explore AI Editing in Photoshop
Adobe and Google DeepMind are also working together on new AI-powered editing capabilities, starting with Photoshop.
The companies are exploring the customisation of a Google image model for Photoshop that could enable near-real-time image edits using prompts. The proposed experience could allow creative professionals to make adjustments and select between different generated variants without having to interrupt their existing workflow.
The partnership builds on several existing collaborations between Adobe and Google, including Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker in Gemini Enterprise, Premiere on Android, Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere integrations with Google products, and a dedicated YouTube Shorts creation space in Premiere mobile.
Adobe and Google's expanded partnership is less about adding another AI feature to an existing app and more about connecting two huge software ecosystems around AI-powered creative and productivity workflows. Adobe gets deeper access to Google's frontier AI models, while Google gets Adobe's professional creative and document tools across Search, Workspace and Gemini. For users, the bigger change could be less switching between apps and more AI-assisted work happening directly where they already create, search and collaborate.
