Dropbox is updating its site with a couple of features targeting designers.
The company will roll out three features over the next few days to support viewing of .Eps files and “crisper than ever” renderings of .Psd, .Ai, and .Svg files.
In blog post, Dropbox said that this move is “especially useful when sending large high-res images, or working with people who don’t use design software.”
The new rollout includes:
- A new advanced image viewer for web previews. When you’re previewing an image (like those ending with .png, .jpeg, .bmp, or .psd) on the Dropbox website, clicking on the image brings up a new image toolbar. From there you can zoom in all the way and pan around in the zoomed view
- Better support for Photoshop (.psd), Illustrator (.ai), and scalable vector graphic (.svg) files. Previews for these file types will look crisper than ever, with more accurate color 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.
- New support for PostScript (.eps) files. For the first time, you can now preview PostScript images in your browser, instead of having to download the file to see it.
