Adobe and Google are deepening a long-running relationship, agreeing to place more of Adobe's software inside Google's products while bringing more of Google's artificial intelligence models into Adobe's apps.
The companies unveiled the expanded partnership at Adobe MAX, the software maker's annual creativity conference, according to a report by TVTechnology. Both firms framed the deal as a way to give users smoother, more connected workflows that shorten the path from idea to finished content.
Acrobat Comes to Gmail and Google Drive
The most visible change for everyday users is that Acrobat, Adobe's PDF and document platform, will become available inside Google Workspace through Google Drive and Gmail.
The aim is practical. People who work with documents often juggle several applications to complete a single task, and embedding Acrobat in the tools many already use daily is meant to cut down on that switching.
Gemini Models to Power Acrobat Features
The integration runs in both directions. Google's Gemini family of models will help drive AI capabilities in Acrobat, an area the companies describe as document intelligence.
For Adobe, tapping Google's models gives its document software access to large-scale AI from one of the leading developers in the field, rather than relying solely on in-house technology.
Adobe Tools Expand Inside Google's AI Products
Adobe also plans to broaden its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise, adding Acrobat alongside additional creative tools. Those connectors let users call on Adobe capabilities directly from within Google's AI assistant.
Beyond Gemini, Adobe's creative tools are set to appear in AI Mode in Google Search, putting them in front of users at the point where they are already searching and asking questions.
Google Imaging and Video Models Head to Creative Apps
On the creative side, Google's latest imaging and video models will be offered across Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere and Adobe Express. That gives Adobe's customers more choice in which generative models they use for images and video.
Adobe and Google DeepMind will also work together on new AI-powered editing capabilities. That collaboration will begin with Photoshop, Adobe's flagship image editor.
Anil Chakravarthy, Adobe's president and incoming CEO, said the company's AI work is designed to help more people create while keeping creative control. "Adobe's mission is to empower everyone to create," he said.
Building on an Existing Relationship
The new agreement extends collaboration that already spans several parts of both businesses. Recent joint efforts include bringing Adobe CX Enterprise Coworker to Gemini Enterprise and launching Premiere on Android.
The companies have also brought Photoshop, Lightroom and Premiere to Google Books, and partnered with YouTube on a dedicated YouTube Shorts creation space within Premiere's mobile app.
What the Deal Signals for Creators and Businesses
The partnership reflects a broader shift in which software makers increasingly combine forces rather than build every AI capability alone. Adobe gains access to Google's frontier models and distribution, while Google strengthens Workspace and Gemini with widely used creative and document tools.
For creators, knowledge workers and the startups building around these platforms, the practical takeaway is that AI features are moving closer to where work already happens. Products that reduce app-switching and plug into dominant ecosystems may find that integration matters as much as the underlying model.
