AI File Viewer
Open PDF-compatible .ai files in your browser
Runs in your browser. Files never leave your device.
How to use AI File Viewer
- Open an .ai or PDF file.
- Move between artboards and zoom in to check details.
- Choose a resolution and save the artboard as PNG or JPG.
About this tool
Preview .ai vector artwork without a design app. Most .ai files are saved with a PDF-compatible copy of the artwork inside, which this viewer renders sharply at any zoom level. Multi-artboard files can be paged through one artboard at a time.
Export any artboard as a PNG or JPG at 72 to 600 DPI, with a transparent background if you like. Files saved without the PDF compatibility option don’t contain that copy and can’t be shown.
- Works on your device. Nothing is uploaded.
- Free, with no sign-up and no watermark.
- No limits on file count or size beyond what your device can handle.
Questions and answers
Why can’t my .ai file be opened?
It was probably saved with PDF compatibility turned off, so it only contains data for its original app. Open it there and save it again with “Create PDF compatible file” enabled.
Can I edit the vectors?
No. This is a viewer and exporter. To get vector shapes from a picture, use the Image to SVG tool.
Is AI File Viewer free?
Yes. Every tool on ImgImage is free to use, with no sign-up, no watermark and no limit on how many files you process.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your files are processed by your own browser and never leave your device. Nothing you open here is sent to a server.
Does it work on my phone?
Yes. It works in any modern browser on phones, tablets and computers. Large files are processed faster on a computer.
