ChatGPT users are now getting some new design capabilities, as new Adobe Photoshop, Acrobat, and Express apps are launching directly in ChatGPT, allowing users to create new designs or edit photos/PDFs by describing what they want to the AI assistant.
The apps are reportedly free to use and can be activated by typing the app’s name, providing some conversational instructions, and uploading a file. One example could be “Adobe Photoshop, help me brighten this image.” Once the application name has been specified in the conversation, users will not need to mention the app again to make additional changes.
The Verge notes that, depending on the instructions, Adobe’s apps may offer a selection of results to choose from or provide a UI element that users can manually control, especially for settings like brightness or contrast. However, the ChatGPT apps cannot offer the full functionality of the highly popular (and expensive) desktop software.

Adobe says the new Photoshop app can adjust specific sections of images, apply creative effects, and adjust image settings like brightness, contrast, and exposure. Acrobat in ChatGPT can edit existing PDFs, compress files, and convert other documents into PDFs, which, to me, is a major timesaver when applying for jobs or submitting documents that need to be in PDF format. The new Adobe Express app allows users to generate and edit designs (posters, graphics, etc.) without leaving ChatGPT.
An interesting point The Verge noted is that if ChatGPT users want to continue working on a project they started in the AI assistant, those files can be opened directly in Adobe’s native apps.
The new Adobe apps in ChatGPT are available globally across desktop, web, and iOS. There is an Adobe Express ChatGPT app available on Android for now, with support for Photoshop and Acrobat coming soon, according to Adobe.
