Adobe and Google have expanded their partnership, making more of Adobe’s tools available through Google products.
Adobe will bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search, giving users the chance to go from searching for an idea to designing it in one place.
It’s a move that will likely increase time on site for Google’s Gemini search eperience.
Adobe will also expand its existing integration with Gemini Enterprise, adding Acrobat and additional creative tools, allowing users to enhance images, customise designs and work with PDFs right in their conversations.
Acrobat will be available in Google Workspace, giving users a direct pathway to the PDF reader from Google Drive and Gmail.
Acrobat will appear as a suggested app across both services, including through an “Edit with” entry point in file previews. With more than 400 billion PDFs opened with Acrobat each year, this integration will bring Adobe’s PDF solution to the Google tools people use every day.
Adobe will add Google’s AI models to the range of models powering AI capabilities in Acrobat, which help people edit PDFs conversationally, understand the information in their documents, and create polished assets like presentations, resumes, and reports faster.
“Adobe’s mission is to empower everyone to create, and our AI innovations are helping more people express their ideas and create in ways that amplify their voice, while maintaining creative control,” said Anil Chakravarthy, president and incoming CEO of Adobe.
“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.”
Adobe and Google’s AI research lab DeepMind will also work together to explore new editing capabilities for creative professionals. For example, the companies are exploring customisation of a Google image model for Photoshop that could enable near-real-time edits, allowing creative professionals to adjust images with prompts and choose among variants that best match their vision without interrupting their creative flow.
“Our expanded partnership with Adobe builds on our commitment to open innovation and choice, bringing together Google’s foundation models and Workspace collaboration services with Adobe’s creative and productivity tools,” said Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud.
“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.”
