More Adobe tools in Google products
Adobe and Google announced an expanded partnership on Nov. 10, bringing Adobe tools to more Google products and Google AI models to more Adobe apps. The announcement came at Adobe MAX, which the companies described as the world’s largest creativity conference. Adobe and Google said the collaboration is intended to connect their products and reduce the need for people to move between applications while working on a project.
Acrobat will be available through Google Drive and Gmail, with a suggested-app option and an “Edit with” entry point in file previews. Adobe said Acrobat handles more than 400 billion PDFs opened each year, and the integration will bring its PDF product into Google’s everyday tools.
Google models in Adobe applications
Google AI models will be added to the range of models that power Acrobat’s AI capabilities. Those capabilities help people edit PDFs conversationally, understand document information and create presentations, resumes and reports faster. Google’s Gemini models will also help power AI Assistant in Acrobat.
Google’s latest image and video models will come to Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express. Customers can already use Google models including Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana in Adobe products. Adobe described its partner model strategy as giving customers a choice of AI models alongside Adobe’s professional tools.
Connectors and search tools
Connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise will expand to include Acrobat and additional creative tools, enabling people to enhance images, customize designs and work with PDFs in conversations. The announcement described these integrations as building on recent connector launches. Creative tools will also come to AI Mode in Google Search, letting people move from searching for an idea to bringing it to life in one place.
Photoshop work remains exploratory
Adobe and Google DeepMind will explore new AI editing capabilities for creative professionals, beginning with Photoshop. The companies are exploring whether customizing a Google image model for Photoshop could enable near-real-time edits prompted by users, with a choice among variants. The announcement framed this as work under exploration, not as a released editing feature.
Adobe said its creative and productivity solutions serve more than 1 billion monthly active users, while Google said its products and services support billions of users globally. Adobe and Google also cited earlier collaborations including Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker in Gemini Enterprise, Premiere on Android, Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere on Googlebook, and a YouTube Shorts creation space in Premiere mobile.
