Adobe brings Photoshop to Gemini, Acrobat to Claude
What this answers
- Can I use Photoshop and Firefly inside Gemini?
- Yes — Adobe brought Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Express and Firefly tools directly into Gemini on every subscription plan, starting September 24, 2026, per Adobe.
- Does Claude's Adobe plugin include Acrobat?
- Yes, as of September 24, 2026 — Acrobat joined Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, InDesign, Adobe Stock and Firefly in the Claude and Claude Code plugin, which now spans more than 80 tools, per Adobe.
Adobe has put Photoshop, Lightroom, Adobe Express and Firefly tools directly into Gemini on every subscription plan, in a global rollout that began September 24, per Adobe. Separately, the Adobe plugin for Anthropic’s Claude and Claude Code gained Acrobat for the first time — joining Express, Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, InDesign, Adobe Stock and Firefly to pass 80 tools — with new PDF features including redaction, page reordering and an interactive editor. Adobe’s post does not say whether using either integration requires a paid Adobe Creative Cloud subscription on top of a Gemini or Claude plan.
Why it matters: Adobe is now betting on two rival chat assistants as creative-tool front ends rather than just its own apps, and pairing a broad Gemini rollout with a narrower, more capable Claude plugin suggests different roles for each.
