Google and Adobe have launched a new collaboration that will bring Google’s AI models to Adobe apps and Adobe’s creative and productivity capabilities to Google’s platforms. The partnership, officially announced on November 11 at Adobe MAX, aims to improve user access to creative tools and AI capabilities across both platforms.
As part of the collaboration, Acrobat will be accessible through Google Workspace, which includes Gmail and Google Drive. This will make it more convenient for users to work with documents without navigating between several applications, allowing them to access Adobe’s PDF editing tools directly from these services.
The collaboration will also bring Google’s AI models into Adobe’s creative and productivity tools. Google’s image and video models will be integrated into applications such as Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express. At the same time, Google’s Gemini models will support AI features in Acrobat, helping users edit PDFs, understand document information and create presentations and reports.
Another key development is the expansion of Adobe’s tools within Google’s AI platforms. Adobe will extend its integrations with Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, allowing users to work with PDFs, enhance images and customise designs directly within these platforms. The company will also bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search.
Adobe and Google DeepMind will also work together to develop new AI-powered image-editing capabilities, starting with Photoshop. The companies are exploring ways to customise Google’s image models to enable near-real-time image editing through prompts, allowing creative professionals to make changes and choose from different image variations.
Anil Chakravarthy, president and incoming CEO of Adobe, said, “Our expanded partnership combines Google’s frontier AI with Adobe’s industry-leading creative and productivity tools at global scale, enabling us to deliver differentiated experiences and bring Adobe’s innovations to more people across Adobe and Google products.”
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said, “By further connecting our respective platforms, we are giving creators and enterprise teams a powerful, integrated environment to turn their ideas into high-impact content.”
Through this partnership, Adobe and Google aim to strengthen their respective offerings by bringing Google’s AI capabilities into Adobe’s applications while expanding the reach of Adobe’s creative and productivity tools across Google’s platforms.
