Acrobat Is Coming To Gmail As Adobe And Google Swap AI Tools
Adobe is putting Acrobat inside Gmail and Google Drive, while Google‘s AI image and video models are coming to Photoshop, Premiere and Firefly under an expanded partnership.
Key Takeaways
- Acrobat will appear as a suggested app in Gmail and Google Drive, including an “Edit with” option in file previews
- Google’s latest image and video models will come to Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express
- More than 400 billion PDFs are opened with Acrobat each year
- Adobe’s creative and productivity tools serve more than 1 billion monthly users
The companies made the announcement on Tuesday at Adobe MAX, the company’s yearly creativity conference.
Acrobat Moves Into Google’s Apps
People will be able to open files from Gmail and Drive straight into Acrobat. Adobe will also add Google’s Gemini models to the AI tools in Acrobat that let users edit PDFs by chatting, make sense of long documents and turn them into presentations, resumes and reports.
Adobe will expand its tools inside Gemini and Gemini Enterprise with Acrobat and more creative apps, so users can edit images, customize designs and work with PDFs within a chat. Its creative tools are also coming to AI Mode in Google Search.
“Our expanded partnership combines Google’s frontier AI with Adobe’s industry-leading creative and productivity tools at global scale,” said Anil Chakravarthy, Adobe’s president and incoming CEO.
Google AI Comes To Photoshop
Adobe customers can already use Google models including Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana inside Adobe apps, and the deal brings Google’s newest image and video models to more of them.
Adobe and Google DeepMind will also work on new AI editing features, starting with Photoshop. The two are exploring a custom Google image model that could let users edit pictures in near real time with text prompts and pick from several versions.
