Adobe brings Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat editing apps to ChatGPT for free

Adobe has launched new free integrations of Photoshop, Adobe Express, and Acrobat inside ChatGPT, letting users edit images, create designs, or work with PDFs directly within the chatbot interface without needing a Adobe Creative Cloud subscription. Photoshop supports regional edits, creative effects, and adjustments to exposure, contrast, and brightness, while Acrobat can modify PDFs, compress or convert files, extract text or tables, and merge documents.

To use it users need to upload a file and mention the app name in their prompt to activate it, such as “Adobe Photoshop, remove the background.” From there, they can type additional edits without repeating the app name. When working with images, users can also click on the output to reveal sliders that adjust the intensity of edits or effects, combining conversational commands with quick manual fine tuning.

This release builds on OpenAI’s recent push to bring third party apps like Booking, Coursera, Canva, Figma, and Spotify into ChatGPT. The Adobe apps focus on core editing capabilities rather than full desktop functionality but offer enough control to handle common tasks directly in the chat. Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat are available globally on ChatGPT for desktop, web, and iOS, while Android currently supports only Adobe Express, with Photoshop and Acrobat coming soon.
