The brief
Adobe and Google announced an expanded strategic partnership on November 10, 2026, at Adobe MAX in Miami Beach, Florida, to embed Adobe's creative and productivity tools across Google Workspace, Gemini, Gemini Enterprise, and AI Mode in Google Search, while integrating Google's latest AI models into Adobe's applications. According to the Adobe Newsroom, the partnership connects platforms with broad global reach: Adobe's solutions serve more than 1 billion monthly active users, while Google's products support billions of users globally. Adobe Acrobat will be available in Google Workspace, appearing as a suggested app in Google Drive and Gmail with an "Edit with" entry point in file previews. The Adobe Newsroom noted that more than 400 billion PDFs are opened with Acrobat each year. Google's AI models, including the Gemini family, will power AI capabilities in Acrobat to help people edit PDFs conversationally, understand document information, and create polished assets like presentations, resumes, and reports faster. Adobe will expand its connectors in Gemini and Gemini Enterprise with Acrobat and additional creative tools, enabling users to enhance images, customize designs, and work with PDFs directly in conversations. Adobe will also bring its creative tools to AI Mode in Google Search. Engadget reported that users will be able to access Acrobat directly from the chat window in Gemini, with this functionality coming to AI Mode in Google Search at some point in the future. Google's latest imaging and video models, including Gemini Omni, Veo, and Nano Banana, will be integrated across Adobe Firefly, Photoshop, Premiere, and Adobe Express. Adobe and Google DeepMind will collaborate on new AI-powered editing capabilities, starting with Photoshop, exploring customization of a Google image model that could enable near-real-time edits allowing creative professionals to adjust images with prompts and choose among variants without interrupting their creative flow. Anil Chakravarthy, president and incoming CEO of Adobe, said the partnership combines Google's frontier AI with Adobe's industry-leading tools at global scale to deliver differentiated experiences. Thomas Kurian, CEO of Google Cloud, said the partnership builds on a commitment to open innovation and choice, giving creators and enterprise teams a powerful, integrated environment to turn ideas into high-impact content.
