ChatGPT Can Now Edit Photos and PDFs for Free Using Built-In Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, and Express Apps

ChatGPT has officially integrated Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Acrobat, and Adobe Express, allowing users to edit photos, PDFs, and graphic designs simply by describing what they want. The new Adobe apps work directly inside ChatGPT and are available globally for free, making advanced editing accessible without opening separate software.

With this update, users can type the name of the Adobe app along with their file and give natural language instructions like: “Adobe Photoshop, blur the background of this photo.” ChatGPT will then apply the changes using Adobe’s tools and continue editing within the same conversation—no need to repeat the app name.

The integrated apps don’t include the full power of Adobe’s desktop software, but they still offer a wide range of powerful editing capabilities:

What Photoshop Can Do in ChatGPT

Edit specific regions of an image

Apply creative filters and effects

Adjust brightness, contrast, exposure, and more

Users can also receive multiple result options or get hands-on controls like sliders for manual fine-tuning.

What Acrobat Can Do in ChatGPT

Edit text inside existing PDFs

Convert and compress documents

Extract text, tables, and data

Merge multiple PDFs into one file

What Adobe Express Offers

Create and edit social media graphics, posters, flyers, and invitations

Replace photos and text instantly

Change colors, layouts, and styles

Animate design elements—all without leaving ChatGPT

Projects started inside ChatGPT can be opened later in Adobe’s native apps for more advanced control.

Adobe’s ChatGPT apps work on desktop, web, and iOS. Adobe Express already functions on Android, with Photoshop and Acrobat support coming soon.

The partnership arrives as competition intensifies with Google Gemini’s growing AI editing tools. Adobe’s move also aligns with its push toward agentic AI, enabling creative work through simple conversational commands and lowering the skill barrier for photo editing and design.
