Apple is bringing Preview to iPadOS
Apple is bringing Preview, macOS’s built-in image and PDF viewer, to the iPad. Starting with iPadOS 26, Preview will now come preinstalled on iPads. On desktop, Preview allows users to view and edit documents and images; Apple is bringing this functionality to its tablet by leveraging Apple Pencil. Using Apple Pencil Markup, users can annotate and edit PDFs and images. If you don’t have an Apple Pencil, touch will work as well. Preview will have direct access to compatible documents and pictures saved in iPadOS’s Files folder so users can select what to work on without leaving the app. Another common use of the Preview app is filling out PDF forms, which iPadOS will support with AutoFill. Once edits are complete, Preview can export your file in a number of different formats and sizes. Apple kicked off WWDC 2025 today where it announced a slew of new software features across mobile and desktop devices as well as updates to Apple Intelligence and more. AI integration has been the main focal point at this year's developer conference, along with a top-to-bottom UI redesign that unifies all OS versions in the Apple device lineup.This article originally appeared on Engadget at https://www.engadget.com/mobile/smartphones/apple-is-bringing-preview-to-ipados-175643371.html?src=rss
