Google I/O 2026 brought countless AI announcements, including three major creative services planning to make editing tools easier to access through Gemini AI.

Adobe, Canva, and CapCut all plan to connect to Gemini in the near future. Each aims to bring their editing capabilities directly to where people are making creative decisions with AI.

Canva’s announcement mentions using its tools within Gemini to edit imagery first created through Google's Nano Banana model. "Magic Layers takes things a step further. Generate an image in Gemini and unlock it in Canva, making every element editable by separating it into individual layers. Fine-tune text, elements, and more – all in one flow," it says. In the example, someone generates an AI image of a tennis player holding a ball, then rearranges elements to make it work better for a poster before adding text.

Canva integration is rolling out to Gemini now with “limited availability,” and plans to roll out a full version soon.

Adobe’s tools aren't available yet, with plans to introduce them in the coming weeks. This works differently from Canva: the user tags Adobe to ask it to create a design, and the AI takes over. The creative connector is designed to work across multiple Adobe services at once, with it planning to offer more than 50 pro-grade creative tools.

Adobe says, "You describe what you want to create. Our creative agent figures out how to get there — connecting the right tools, in the right sequence at the right time while checking in along the way. You stay in control of the creative vision; the agent handles the execution." This comes after Adobe made a similar move by adding its creative tools to Anthropic's Claude AI.

CapCut, a popular video-editing app owned by TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, is the most recent service to announce Gemini compatibility. We don't yet know exactly how it will work, but CapCut says it’ll allow for both image and video editing.

The announcement says, “As creative workflows become more connected and seamless, we believe the future of creation will be more conversational, intuitive, and intelligently integrated across tools and experiences. This is just the beginning.”
