Adobe & OpenAI integrate Photoshop, Adobe Express and Acrobat into ChatGPT

Adobe and OpenAI announced a partnership that brings core Adobe tools — Photoshop, Adobe Express and Acrobat — directly into the ChatGPT interface. Users can invoke specific editing and document functions from those apps using simple text prompts inside ChatGPT, streamlining creative and productivity workflows.

The integration lets you do things like adjust image areas, tweak brightness/contrast, remove backgrounds, generate or resize assets, and create or edit PDFs — all from a chat window. Adobe’s features appear as callable actions inside ChatGPT, so you can iterate on visuals and documents conversationally without switching apps constantly.

Key features

• Photoshop functions: Select or modify image regions, apply adjustments, remove backgrounds and request edits by text instruction.
• Adobe Express: Generate or resize assets, create layouts and templates for social posts or simple designs via prompts.
• Acrobat: Produce, edit or combine PDFs, extract text and manage simple document tasks without leaving the chat.
• Workflow convenience: Perform iterative edits conversationally and export final assets back to your Adobe account or local storage.

How it works and rollout notes

The integration will require linking your Adobe account to ChatGPT and granting the necessary permissions for the tools to access files and perform edits. OpenAI and Adobe said the features are rolling out gradually, so availability may vary by account and region at first. As with any connected workflow, expect prompts that clarify intent and options before changes are applied.

Privacy, control and practical tips

• Review the permissions requested when you connect accounts — the integration needs access to files to make edits on your behalf.
• Keep original files backed up; run edits on copies until you’re comfortable with automated workflows.
• Check for limitations on advanced Photoshop features — some complex edits may still be faster in the native app.
• Watch for versioning and export options so you can retrieve final assets in the format you need.

This partnership aims to make creative and document tasks faster and more accessible by embedding powerful Adobe tools into conversational AI. It’s an example of how AI platforms are becoming hubs that connect specialized applications into single, streamlined experiences.
