- Anthropic is announcing a series of new creative connectors for Claude
- One single Adobe connector opens up access to 50+ pro-grade tools
- Others include Blender, Ableton, Autodesk, Splice and Canva
Adobe and Anthropic have announced plans to integrate professional creative tools straight into the Claude interface to give Anthropic customers access to the Creative Cloud suite without having to switch apps.
It’s part of a broader rollout of Claude connectors being rolled out across the creative space, including Blender and Ableton, to democratize and simplify access to some of the most specialized design apps out there.
The Adobe connector was announced after the company’s annual Summit event, which largely focused on the future of marketing, and builds on existing AI links like the Photoshop app within ChatGPT.

Anthropic is going after the creative space with Claude connectors
As for the Adobe connector specifically, Claude gets access to more than 50 pro-grade tools across popular apps like Photoshop, Illustrator, Premiere, Lightroom, Firefly and more. Users can retouch and enhance photos, create assets for social media campaigns and resize their videos for multiple platforms from within Claude, without having to understand some of the complex workflows of each specific app.
Because the work is being done via Adobe tools within the Claude interface, and not by Claude directly, it means users can pick up inside the actual Adobe apps if they want to deepen their edits and so on.
Available globally, users will need a Claude account to access the Adobe connector. Higher usage limits, access to more tools and the ability to save your work across sessions comes with signing in to an Adobe account, but it seems that signing in isn’t necessary for some of the most basic functionalities.
But while Adobe’s connector hits the headlines for making powerful editing more accessible to non-technical, non-creative workers, it’s not the only creative connector Anthropic is adding to Claude. As well as Abelton and Blender mentioned above, Affinity by Canva, Autodesk Fusion, Resolume Arena, Resolume Wire, SketchUp and Splice are also coming to Claude.
All of this, Anthropic says, without replacing the taste and imagination of creatives. Instead, the company sees these connectors helping them to replace repetitive tasks and manual toil, freeing them up to take on larger-scale projects.
