🖼 PSD Viewer

  • Improved PSD File Handling: PSD files with shape layers containing both vector and raster masks are now processed correctly, ensuring better compatibility with complex files.

📊 Excel Viewer

  • Support for Font Color and Cell Color in Data Sorter Key: The data sorter now supports sorting based on font color and cell background color, providing more flexibility when working with styled data.
  • Center Alignment Across Columns: Added support for center alignment spanning multiple columns, enhancing the presentation of tables.

🖥 Visio Viewer

  • Enhanced Arabic Language Support: Arabic text in diagrams now renders in the correct direction and shaping, instead of arriving reversed or disconnected.

📽 PowerPoint Viewer

  • Fixed Inaccurate Text Positioning: Ensured precise placement of text elements across presentations, improving the layout and readability of your slides.
  • Restored Text Shadows Rendering: Fixed an issue where text shadows were not displayed, bringing back the intended visual effects.

📈 Project Viewer

  • Fixed Timescale Rendering Issues: Addressed an issue where the timescale wasn’t applied correctly when rendering date labels in project timelines.
  • Improved Timescale Period Rendering: Resolved incorrect rendering of timescale periods, especially at the page borders, ensuring accurate display.

How to Test the New Formats and Enhancements

To try out these new formats and features, follow these easy steps:

  1. Open the viewer for your format. There is no dashboard and no account — pick the page for the file you have (Excel, PowerPoint, PSD, Visio, Project) and drop the file on it.

  2. Use a file that used to fail. These are fixes, not features: a PSD with vector and raster masks, a spreadsheet sorted by cell colour, an Arabic Visio diagram, a deck with text shadows, a project plan whose timescale ran over a page border. A sample file rendered correctly before this release too.

Your upload is deleted when you close the viewer, and the size limit belongs to the format — 25 MB for PSD and Visio, 20 MB for Excel, PowerPoint and Project.
