We're making it easier to inspect files without leaving the Media Library. You can now preview many more file types directly in the existing preview modal—no download required.

What's New

The Media Library now supports in-browser previews for:

PDF files – Browse pages, zoom in and out, jump to specific pages, and select text.

Word documents (.docx) – View full document formatting, including pagination, headers, and footers.

Excel and CSV files – Open spreadsheets with worksheet tabs and familiar column headers.

Audio files – Play supported audio formats directly in the browser, including MP3, WAV, OGG, and M4A.

3D models – Interactively view supported 3D files, with controls for rotation, wireframe mode, and camera reset.

Text and code files – Preview JSON, CSS, plain text, and other supported text-based files with syntax highlighting.

How It Works

1. Select any file in the Media Library, or choose Preview from the right-click menu.
2. The correct viewer will open automatically based on the file type.

Additional Notes

Preview size limits apply:

* PDF: up to 50 MB

* Word: up to 15 MB

* Excel/CSV: up to 15 MB

* 3D models: up to 50 MB

* Text files: up to 5 MB

* Audio files: up to 100 MB

Files that exceed these limits will display a Too Large to Preview message with an option to download the file instead.

* Spreadsheet previews are limited to 1,000 rows × 100 columns per worksheet to maintain performance. If a file exceeds these limits, a notice will appear and the full file can still be downloaded.

* Unsupported file types (such as PowerPoint files, ZIP archives, font files, and legacy Word documents) will display an improved Preview Not Available message when browser preview is not supported.
