Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Express, and Adobe Acrobat now available inside ChatGPT
Adobe has announced that Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Express, and Adobe Acrobat are now available inside ChatGPT, so users can edit images, create designs, and handle PDFs through natural-language instructions without leaving the chat.
Users type the app name followed by a request; ChatGPT surfaces the tool and guides the workflow, with options for conversational edits or familiar controls like Photoshop sliders. Photoshop enables edits to parts of an image, brightness/contrast/exposure tweaks, and effects like Glitch and Glow.
Adobe Express emphasizes template browsing, text and image replacement, animation, and iterations. Acrobat enables PDF edits, text/table extraction, organizing and merging files, compression, PDF conversion, and redaction of details. The apps are free on ChatGPT desktop, web, and iOS; Express also works on Android, and Photoshop/Acrobat Android support is coming soon.
Tom’s Take: Adobe’s integration of Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat into ChatGPT has important implications for K–12 teachers and students. For teachers, it marks a move toward conversational, multimodal creation of resources, such lesson materials and handouts For students, it expands opportunities for project-based learning — creating posters, storyboards, or digital portfolios — via natural language processing rather than busy software interfaces. That said, the integration also raises policy questions around access, account management, and appropriate use of generative features.
