Adobe has launched integrations of Photoshop, Adobe Express and Adobe Acrobat directly within ChatGPT, making its creative and productivity tools available to the platform’s 800 million users. The company announced the launch on December 10, 2025, positioning it as a step toward making professional creative tools accessible through conversational interfaces.
According to David Wadhwani, president of digital media at Adobe, the integration allows people to edit with Photoshop using natural language commands within a platform they already use daily. Users can enhance photos, design invitations, and edit PDF documents by describing what they want to achieve in their own words.
The tools are available for free to ChatGPT users. To access them, users navigate to Settings, then Apps & Connectors, and select the Adobe app they want to connect. Once connected, they can invoke the tools by typing commands like “/AdobePhotoshop” followed by their request.
How the integration works
With Photoshop for ChatGPT, users can upload an image and ask the system to make specific edits. Adobe suggests starting with prompts like “Adobe Photoshop, make the people pop in my vacation photo,” then following up with additional requests such as adding retro effects or applying grain to create a vintage look. After each automatic adjustment, users can fine-tune results using sliders.
Adobe Express in ChatGPT enables users to create designs such as party invitations by describing their vision. The system offers templates that users can customize by updating text and images through conversational prompts.
Adobe Acrobat integration allows users to combine multiple documents into a single PDF and edit text directly within the interface. Adobe highlights this as useful for creating job application packages that include resumes, cover letters and references in one file.
Prompting recommendations
Adobe provides guidance for working with conversational interfaces. The company recommends being specific and descriptive in prompts, breaking complex requests into individual steps rather than asking for everything at once, and explicitly stating what to avoid if initial results include unwanted elements.
The launch builds on Adobe’s recent conversational AI initiatives. Earlier in 2025, the company introduced Acrobat Studio and previewed AI assistants for multiple applications at its Adobe MAX conference. Adobe describes these developments as part of its work with agentic AI and the Model Context Protocol.
Adobe frames the ChatGPT integration as removing barriers to entry for creative tools. Pam Clark, writing for Adobe, notes that people often express interest in using Photoshop but are unsure where to start. The conversational interface is intended to address this hesitation by eliminating the need to learn traditional software navigation.
The integration represents a shift in how established creative software companies are distributing their tools, bringing professional-grade applications into platforms where users already spend time rather than requiring separate downloads or installations.
