Adobe and Google Expand Partnership to Link AI and Creative Tools

Adobe and Google announced an expanded strategic partnership at Adobe MAX in Miami on Tuesday linking major document and creativity applications directly across Google’s workspace platforms and AI surfaces.

The agreement creates a direct pathway between email and file storage services and Adobe’s document reader. Users previewing PDF files in Gmail or Google Drive will see a suggested application link carrying an “Edit with” entry point. That direct route bypasses the traditional step of downloading files before making revisions.

Document management also gains support from Google’s AI models inside Acrobat. “help people edit PDFs conversationally, understand the information in their documents and create polished assets like presentations, resumes and reports faster,” Google's AI models inside Acrobat will do, according to the integrated systems. With more than 400 billion PDFs opened with Acrobat each year, this integration brings the PDF solution directly into daily workspace tools.

We're expanding our partnership with @Adobe to integrate Adobe’s creative and productivity tools directly into @GeminiApp, @GoogleCloud’s Gemini Enterprise, @GoogleWorkspace, and AI Mode in Google Search, while bringing Google’s frontier models into more Adobe apps.

For small business owners and knowledge workers, eliminating the need to switch applications resolves a frequent disruption. Switching between separate apps to fine-tune an image or modify a document can break focus.

Google’s frontier foundation models are expanding across Adobe’s software lineup.

At the same time, Adobe is extending its connectors into Google’s chat and search environments.

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.

Business teams gain access to new automation through Gemini Enterprise, which incorporates Adobe’s CX Enterprise Coworker agent. The assistant helps design graphics, handle documents, and launch marketing campaigns without forcing users to jump between separate applications.

Further experimental development is underway with Google DeepMind. The companies are exploring a highly customized image model for Photoshop aimed at near-real-time editing capabilities driven by text prompts. This approach lets creative professionals adjust images and select among multiple variants without interrupting their creative flow.
