Adobe and Google expand partnership across creative and productivity apps

Adobe and Google are expanding their partnership to bring each company’s tools and AI models into more of the other’s products. Adobe says the aim is to reduce the time creators spend switching between interfaces.

Google’s Gemini Omni, Veo and Nano Banana models are set to be integrated into Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express. Adobe tools will also become more available in Google Workspace and Gemini.

Adobe Acrobat is slated for deeper integration with Google Workspace and Gmail, so users can work with files without downloading them and reopening them in Adobe’s interface. Adobe says Acrobat is used to open 400 billion PDFs annually.

The companies also described an exploratory collaboration between Adobe and Google DeepMind, beginning with Photoshop. They are targeting near-real-time edits intended to reduce disruption when parts of a workflow are handed over to AI.

Adobe said it now has more than 1 billion monthly active users. Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian said the companies’ connected platforms will give creators and enterprise teams an integrated environment for turning ideas into content.
