ChatGPT Can Now Edit Photos and PDFs Using Adobe’s Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat
Adobe added Photoshop, Express, and Acrobat features to ChatGPT this week. You describe what you want, and ChatGPT handles image edits, design creation, or PDF changes using Adobe’s tools behind the scenes. No subscription needed for these. It’s free for ChatGPT users. TechCrunch and Reuters note this draws more users to Adobe’s tools while boosting ChatGPT for creative tasks.
Fix and Tweak Images with Photoshop
Upload a photo and prompt ChatGPT with something like “Adobe Photoshop, remove the background from this image.” It edits the actual photo, not just regenerates it, which avoids weird distortions common in plain AI tools. CNET points out sliders pop up for fine control, like adjusting brightness or exposure after an initial edit, as Bloomberg reports.
- Edit specific parts of images
- Remove or blur backgrounds
- Adjust exposure, brightness, contrast
- Apply effects like glitch or glow
- Tweak effect intensity with sliders
If you need more power, open the result in full Photoshop.
Create and Edit Graphics with Express
Express works for quick designs like posters or social media graphics. Tell ChatGPT “Adobe Express, make an invitation with this theme,” and it pulls templates, adds animations, or swaps elements. The Verge says you stay in ChatGPT to replace text, images, or colors, then export to the full app if needed.
- Generate posters, invitations, flyers
- Edit text, images, colors
- Animate parts of designs
- Use library templates for themes
- Build social media graphics
Handle PDFs with Acrobat
For documents, Acrobat in ChatGPT merges files, extracts text or tables, or edits content while keeping formatting intact. Prompts like “Adobe Acrobat, summarize this PDF” or “combine these files” get the job done. Mint mentions it also compresses files and converts others to PDF.
- Merge multiple PDFs
- Edit or extract text/tables
- Compress or convert files
- Preserve original formatting
How It Works and Where It’s Available
Start prompts with the app name in bold, like Adobe Photoshop. ChatGPT remembers it for follow-ups in the same chat. Results might show options to pick from or sliders to adjust. All three tools work on desktop, web, and iOS worldwide. Android has Express now. Photoshop and Acrobat coming soon, per Adobe.
This fits OpenAI’s push since October to add apps like Canva inside ChatGPT. It lowers the barrier for non-experts. Describe your goal, get pro-level results fast.
