Imagine opening a PDF in Gmail, editing it with Adobe Acrobat, generating visuals using Google AI models in Photoshop, and refining a creative project without constantly switching between applications.
This connected workflow is what the expanded Adobe Google Partnership is aiming to deliver, bringing Google’s AI capabilities into Adobe’s creative tools while making Adobe’s applications accessible across Google’s productivity and search platforms.
Announced at Adobe MAX, the world’s largest creativity conference, on November 10, 2026, the expanded partnership will connect Adobe’s creative and productivity ecosystem with Google’s AI models and services.
The collaboration will bring Acrobat to Google Workspace through Google Drive and Gmail, expand Adobe’s integrations with Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, and introduce Adobe’s creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search.
The partnership will also bring Google’s latest image and video generation models to Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express.
Google’s Gemini models will support AI capabilities in Acrobat, while Adobe and Google DeepMind will explore new AI-powered editing experiences, starting with Photoshop.
The expanded Adobe Google Partnership aims to simplify how creators, professionals and enterprise teams work with documents and digital content by reducing the need to move between multiple applications.
Adobe and Google aim to connect creative and productivity workflows
People working on documents and creative projects often rely on several applications to complete a single task.
The expanded partnership seeks to reduce this fragmentation by embedding Adobe’s tools into Google’s productivity platforms and bringing Google’s AI technology into Adobe’s applications.
The collaboration connects two technology ecosystems with significant global reach. Adobe’s creative and productivity solutions serve more than 1 billion monthly active users, while Google’s products and services support billions of users worldwide.
“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.”
Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said the expanded collaboration builds on Google’s commitment to open innovation and choice.
“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 Kurian.
“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.”
Acrobat comes to Google Drive and Gmail
One of the key developments in the Adobe Google Partnership is bringing Acrobat directly into Google Workspace.
Users will be able to access Adobe Acrobat through Google Drive and Gmail, where it will appear as a suggested application.
The integration will also introduce an “Edit with” entry point in file previews, allowing users to move directly from Google’s services into Acrobat.
Adobe said more than 400 billion PDFs are opened with Acrobat annually. The integration will extend its PDF editing and productivity capabilities to users across Google’s widely used workplace applications.
Google Gemini models to power Adobe Acrobat AI features
The partnership will also bring Google’s AI models into Adobe Acrobat.
Adobe plans to add Google models to the range of AI models powering Acrobat’s capabilities. These features allow users to interact with PDF documents through conversational prompts, understand information within files and create content more efficiently.
The capabilities will support tasks such as preparing presentations, resumes and reports, helping users turn information contained in documents into polished assets.
Adobe creative tools expand into Gemini and Google Search
The Adobe Google Partnership will extend Adobe’s integrations with Gemini and Gemini Enterprise by adding Acrobat and more creative applications.
Building on the recent launch of Adobe connectors through Adobe Connected App in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, the expanded integrations will allow users to enhance images, customise designs and work with PDFs directly within their AI conversations.
Adobe will also bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search. This will connect the process of searching for creative ideas with the ability to develop them using Adobe’s applications.
Google AI models arrive in Photoshop, Firefly and Premiere
Google’s latest image and video generation models will become available across Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express.
Adobe customers can already access Google’s AI models, including Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana. The expanded collaboration builds on Adobe’s partner model strategy, which gives users access to AI models from different technology companies within its creative applications.
The approach allows creators and businesses to choose from leading AI models while retaining the precision and control offered by Adobe’s professional-grade creative tools.
Adobe and Google DeepMind explore near-real-time Photoshop editing
Beyond integrating existing AI models, Adobe and Google DeepMind will explore new AI-powered editing capabilities for creative professionals.
The companies are looking at customising a Google image model for Photoshop that could enable near-real-time image editing.
The proposed capability could allow creative professionals to modify images using text prompts and choose from multiple variations that best match their vision, without interrupting their creative workflow.
The collaboration will bring together Google’s AI expertise and Adobe’s understanding of professional creative processes to explore new editing experiences.
Adobe and Google extend longstanding collaboration
The expanded Adobe Google Partnership builds on several existing collaborations between the companies.
Recent initiatives include bringing Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker to Gemini Enterprise and launching Premiere on Android.
Adobe has also brought Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere to Googlebooks, extending access to its creative applications across Google’s computing ecosystem.
Additionally, the companies have partnered with YouTube to introduce a dedicated YouTube Shorts creation space within Premiere mobile.
The latest expansion takes the collaboration further by connecting Adobe’s creative and productivity applications with Google’s AI models, search capabilities and workplace services.
