Edit with Photoshop Directly in ChatGPT — Adobe Makes Creative Tools Conversational

By / December 11, 2025

Adobe has taken a bold step toward democratising creative software by integrating Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Express, and Adobe Acrobat directly into ChatGPT. This move allows users to perform sophisticated photo edits, graphic design, and document editing, all through simple natural language prompts in ChatGPT.

This integration brings some of the world’s most powerful creative tools into the hands of millions of users, without needing to open individual apps or learn complex interfaces. It marks a major milestone in the evolution of creative workflows powered by conversational AI.

What the Integration Does

Before this update, using Adobe’s tools meant opening separate apps like Photoshop or Express, navigating menus, and manually adjusting tools. Now, you can describe what you want in plain language inside ChatGPT, and the AI will automatically use Photoshop, Express, or Acrobat to carry out your request.

For example:

  • “Adobe Photoshop, make the people pop in my vacation photo.”
  • “Adobe Express, design a festive invitation for my party.”
  • “Adobe Acrobat, combine my resume, cover letter, and references into one PDF.”

This means anyone, beginners and pros alike, can create stunning visuals or polished documents without steep learning curves.

How Photoshop in ChatGPT Works

Here’s how you can get started with Photoshop inside ChatGPT:

  1. Open ChatGPT and upload the image you want to edit.
  2. Type a prompt like: “Adobe Photoshop, blur the background and boost the colours.”
  3. ChatGPT will bring up the Photoshop editing interface.
  4. You can then refine your edit with simple follow-up prompts or sliders.
  5. Apply effects like artistic filters, vintage looks, retouches, or contrast adjustments just by describing them.

This empowers users to make edits like professionals—without needing to navigate traditional Photoshop UI.

Supported Edits Include:

  • Adjusting brightness, contrast, and exposure
  • Blurring or sharpening specific parts of an image
  • Adding stylistic effects like grain, glow, and cinematic filters
  • Background replacement or enhancement
  • Making subjects “pop” using selective edits

Adobe Express & Acrobat Join the Party

The update isn’t just about photos, creative and productivity needs are covered too:

Adobe Express

With Adobe Express in ChatGPT, you can:

  • Browse professional templates
  • Create graphic designs for social media, invites, and logos
  • Customise text, images, colours, and layouts
  • Animate elements with simple language prompts

Perfect for users who want slick visuals without complex design software.

Adobe Acrobat

ChatGPT now uses Acrobat for PDF tasks like:

  • Merging multiple files into a single PDF
  • Extracting or editing text and tables
  • Compressing or converting documents
  • Redacting sensitive information easily

This turns ChatGPT into a one-stop hub for creative and document workflows.

Why This Matters

This integration delivers three major shifts in how people create and edit digital content:

1. Lowering the Barriers to Creativity

Beginners no longer need to memorise complex toolsets. Just tell ChatGPT what you want, and it will run Photoshop behind the scenes.

2. Seamless, Conversational Workflows

Users can jump between editing, design, and PDF tasks all within one conversation, making workflows faster and more intuitive.

3. Massive Reach & Accessibility

With over 800 million weekly ChatGPT users, Adobe’s tools reach a much wider audience than ever before, including people who might never have considered using Photoshop before.

Real-World Uses You Can Try Today

Here are a few practical examples to spark your creativity:

  • Travel Photo Touch-Up: “Brighten the sky and make the people stand out.”
  • Party Invite Design: “Create a New Year’s Eve invitation with fireworks and bold text.”
  • Resume Package PDF: “Merge my resume and cover letter and format them for readability.”
  • Vintage Photo Effect: “Apply a grainy, retro look to this old snapshot.”
  • Social Media Post: “Make a vibrant, animated graphic for Instagram.”

Tips for Best Results

To make the most of this conversational editing power:

  • Be specific in your instructions (e.g., “blur this area” vs “make it look better”).
  • Use follow-up prompts to fine-tune edits in steps.
  • Describe style and mood (e.g., “cinematic,” “vintage,” “bold”) to get creative effects.
  • If needed, ask for suggestions (“Give me three creative styles I can try”).
