Dropbox is adding the ability to preview Adobe design files such as Photoshop, Illustrator, or PostScript in a web browser.

When viewing files on Dropbox.com a new image viewer for web previews will provide previews with the ability to zoom in and pan around in the zoomed view.

The company says previews for Photoshop (.psd), Illustrator (.ai), and scalable vector graphic (.svg) files will look crisper than ever, with more accurate colour matching and higher quality resolutions.

Dropbox now also supports web previews for artboards and pages within Illustrator files, so you can page through the entire file and zoom in on any page, without even downloading it.

Support for PostScript (.eps) file previews in a web browser is being introduced for the first time.

“Essentially, there’s no need to have the right design software installed or download a file to see a high-fidelity preview — you and your clients can see the image in its true resolution, right in the browser.

“These updates are especially useful when you’re sending large high-res images, or if you’re working with people who don’t use design software. You don’t have to worry about compressing files to make them fit into an email, or converting them to a universal format like jpeg or png so a client can view them. Just send a Dropbox shared link, and the recipient will be able to see the full resolution image with just a click — even if they don’t have the right design software installed, and even if they don’t have a Dropbox account,” said a company blog post
