It seems like every other week ChatGPT’s vault of plugins expands to include even more useful apps that make all of life’s assorted tasks easier to handle.

For me, the Apple Music plugin has given me a bunch of playlists that have made my search for new artists and songs less arduous. The Etsy plugin has highlighted all sorts of custom-made items that are now adorning my walls and…well, my body (prompting a search for new vintage tees has been fun). And activating the Ticketmaster plugin to find the best ticket prices for upcoming events in my area has proven to be another way that ChatGPT’s plugins simplify the search for ways to enjoy my recreational activities.

For visual artists who spend hours creating and editing pictures and videos across Adobe’s creative suite, you’ll be pleased to know that those tools are more easily accessible in ChatGPT.

Via the new all-in-one Adobe plugin, ChatGPT’s creative powers have reached an even more impressive level. With that in mind, here are 10 prompts you can put to use to take advantage of this feature-rich plugin.

Prompting your images and videos into their most refined form

Just like the rest of ChatGPT’s plugins, you can access it by opening the sidebar through either the desktop or mobile version of the chatbot, clicking on “Plugins” (if you don’t see it initially, click on “More” to make it visible) and searching for “Adobe” through the “Search plugins” bar. You’ll know you’ve found the right plugin when you click the “+” next to the Adobe icon with the iconic red logo on a black background.

Keep in mind that you’ll need an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription to use the full range of ChatGPT’s Adobe plugin. You can also use the Adobe plugin as a guest, but you won’t be able to take advantage of the full gamut of its creative abilities. Once you’ve logged in with your Adobe account, you’ll get access to a bundled assortment of over 70 tools from Adobe’s many creative outlets. Those outlets include Photoshop, Firefly, Premiere, Acrobat, Lightroom, Illustrator, InDesign, Adobe Express and Adobe Stock.

Directly interacting with the plugin for your picture and video creation/editing needs is done by typing @Adobe directly into the prompt field. Attaching your chosen notes/data-filled document, picture or video file alongside your Adobe-themed requests is key. For example, getting your request fulfilled to turn a lengthy video into YouTube Shorts-targeted content is done via Adobe’s Quick Cut tool.

To get a sample of its abilities, try out any or all of the following ChatGPT-generated prompts to see what it’s truly capable of:

  • Turn rough ideas into polished social graphics: Create three Instagram carousel concepts promoting a coffee shop's fall menu. Use warm autumn colors, modern typography, and leave room for my logo. Make each concept feel distinct.
  • Remove distractions from photos: Clean up this photo by removing background distractions, improving the lighting, and making it look like it was taken by a professional photographer.
  • Turn notes into a polished presentation: Transform these notes into a polished 10-slide presentation. Create a clean, modern visual style with strong slide hierarchy, concise text, professional layouts, relevant icons or visuals, and consistent typography. Organize the information into a logical narrative, giving each slide a clear purpose and headline. Keep the design professional and presentation-ready, with enough visual variety to avoid repetitive slides.
  • Build a complete mood board: Create a mood board for a luxury home office inspired by Scandinavian design using neutral colors, wood textures, and minimal decor.
  • Redesign a logo: Modernize this logo while preserving its core identity and recognizability. Create three distinct design directions: one minimalist and clean, one premium and sophisticated, and one playful and contemporary. Keep the original brand name and essential visual elements intact while refining the typography, proportions, and overall visual polish. Make each variation feel like a credible, professional logo that could be used across digital and print materials.
  • Create a cinematic trailer: Turn this footage into a cinematic 30- to 60-second movie-style trailer. Select the strongest visual moments, create dramatic pacing with purposeful cuts, build tension toward a compelling climax, and use cinematic transitions and title cards to give it the feel of a professional film trailer. Keep the edit visually cohesive and leave clear opportunities for music, sound effects, and additional title text.
  • Repurpose long videos: Turn this uploaded 20-minute video into five short-form videos, each with a strong opening, fast pacing, and a clear standalone moment. Keep each video optimized for vertical viewing.
  • Make a highlight reel: Find the most visually engaging moments from this video and create a one-minute highlight reel optimized for Instagram Reels. Prioritize moments with strong visual action and variety.
  • Create short-form video edits: Turn this footage into a punchy 30-second vertical video optimized for TikTok. Select the strongest moments, use dynamic cuts and varied pacing to maintain attention, and add clean, easy-to-read captions where appropriate. Use subtle zooms and transitions to emphasize key moments without making the edit feel distracting or overproduced. Structure the video with an attention-grabbing opening and a satisfying ending.
  • PDF Creation: Turn this data into a clean, professional PDF table with clear column headings, consistent spacing, and an easy-to-read layout.

Bottom line

With the unified Adobe ChatGPT plugin comes a creator’s dream suite that transforms OpenAI’s chatbot into your personal creative director. Image retouching, video editing, PDF creation, color correction and more are just a few of the assignments you can present to the Adobe plugin for your future creative needs. Even though this newly added plugin is great for handling simpler creative duties, it doesn’t fully replace Adobe’s classic vault of features for more complex, detailed creative objectives.
