GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET is a high-performance and cross-platform library that allows you to build desktop and web file viewer applications.
With its powerful and straightforward API, you can execute the following actions:
View documents in the most popular file formats (DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, DWG, PSD, HTML, ZIP, and more) by rendering them as HTML, PDF, PNG, and JPEG files. You no longer need third-party software to view files within your .NET application.
Load documents from different sources (a file, a stream, a URL, an FTP server, Amazon S3, Azure Blob Storage, and so on).
Implement caching to increase document loading speed and optimize application performance.
You can use GroupDocs.Viewer across multiple platforms and operation systems. There are two versions of the GroupDocs.Viewer — a “classic” GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET and a new GroupDocs.Viewer.CrossPlatform, which was released on March 2024.
GroupDocs.Viewer for .NET supports the maximum variety of operating systems and target platforms:
That’s why the GroupDocs.Viewer.CrossPlatform was created — it is a System.Drawing-free and may be used on Linux on .NET 6.0 and above. However, it does not support .NET Framework, .NET Core and .NET 5.0.
