What's happening? Your ChatGPT just turned into a mini editing studio. Adobe did Photoshop Express and Acrobat tools are free to use directly inside ChatGPT, allowing users to edit images or work with PDFs without opening a separate application. Here's what you can do in chat:
- Edit your photos using Photoshop Express features like cropping, background removal, retouching, filters, and adjustments.
- Edit and organize PDFs with Acrobat, including the ability to merge, annotate, sign, edit sensitive data, or convert files.
- Get AI assistance from ChatGPT while you workfor example, request design ideas, content suggestions, or layout corrections.
How these tools work inside ChatGPT
Adobe tools can be launched directly in the chat by simply uploading a file and typing what you want to do. You can say something like “Adobe Photoshop, help me blur the background of this image” and the app will activate in the same conversation. Once launched, you can continue to request changes.
Depending on your request, Adobe may show you different versions to choose from or provide small interface elements that you can customize yourself. For example, Photoshop Express can display brightness, exposure, or contrast sliders so you can fine-tune your image right inside ChatGPT.
The Acrobat features inside ChatGPT work in the same way, but the feature requires you to be signed in to your Adobe account to save or export files. Using the tools inside ChatGPT itself costs nothing.
These tools easily handle everyday image editing and document tasks, but for advanced editing, you're still better off switching to full-fledged Adobe apps.
However, this update turns ChatGPT into a useful workspace for people who deal with documents or images on a daily basis. It takes workflows that typically require multiple apps and compresses them into a single chat window, making creative and document work feel more conversational than technical.
