Adobe and Google team up to bring Gemini AI to Photoshop, PDF editing to Gmail

Google and Adobe are joining forces to bring smart AI to Photoshop and smooth PDF editing directly to your Gmail.

In Short

• Google AI models like Gemini are coming to Adobe Photoshop and Premiere.
• You will soon be able to edit Adobe Acrobat PDFs directly inside Gmail and Google Drive.
• Adobe and Google are testing a new feature for near real-time AI image editing in Photoshop.

In a big move for both regular users and creative professionals, Adobe and Google have expanded their partnership. Announced at Adobe MAX 2026, the deal focuses on bringing features from both tech giants to each other's platforms. The main goal is to reduce the hassle of constantly switching between different apps just to edit a photo or fix a PDF file.

Acrobat comes to Gmail and Google Drive

Handling PDF files is about to get much easier. Soon, when you open a PDF in Google Drive or Gmail, you will see Adobe Acrobat as a suggested app with a quick "Edit with" option right in the file preview. This means you can edit your resumes, reports, and contracts directly from your browser without downloading them first.

Google is also bringing its smart Gemini AI models to Acrobat. These tools will let you chat with your PDF, pull important information from documents, and help you create presentations and reports easily.

Adobe tools in Google Search and Gemini

The partnership works both ways. Adobe is bringing its popular creative tools to Google's platforms, including Gemini, Gemini Enterprise, and the AI Mode in Google Search. For business users, a new AI agent called "CX Enterprise Coworker" inside Gemini Enterprise will help teams manage marketing campaigns, edit documents, and design graphics all from one single chat window.

While Adobe's tools will also appear in Google Search's AI Mode, the companies have not yet detailed exactly how users will access them there.

Google AI models inside Photoshop and Premiere

On the creative side, Google’s latest image and video AI models are being added to Adobe’s apps. Popular tools like Photoshop, Premiere, Adobe Express, and Firefly will now feature Google's Gemini Omni, Veo, and Nano Banana models. Users will be able to access these models to generate and edit images and videos quickly.

Additionally, Adobe and Google DeepMind are working on a highly customized image model for Photoshop. This project aims to bring near-real-time editing to the app. Instead of typing a prompt and waiting for the AI to process it, editors could see changes and multiple variations almost instantly.

This feature is still in the testing phase, and there is no official release date yet.

Both companies have a history of working together. Previously, Adobe launched Premiere on Android, brought major apps to Google books, and partnered with YouTube for a dedicated Shorts creation space in Premiere mobile.
