What does Adobe do?

Adobe is a Claude connector that brings tools from Acrobat, Photoshop, Lightroom, Illustrator, Firefly, Premiere, Adobe Express, InDesign and Stock into Claude. You describe the result and Adobe does the work: find a template and change its text, images and colors in a live editor; edit, organize, redact and annotate PDFs; adjust light and color, remove backgrounds or crop photos one by one or in bulk; resize images and video for social channels. It also searches and shares Creative Cloud assets. The page lists 109 tools.
