Many file types can be previewed directly on the HeftySend download page without saving anything to your device.
How it works
When you open a HeftySend download page, supported files show a preview option. Click the file name or thumbnail to open it in the inline viewer. The viewer loads inside the page and lets you see the content immediately.
Previewing does not count as downloading. The file is displayed in your browser but not saved to your device unless you explicitly download it afterwards.
Supported file types
| Type | Formats |
|---|---|
| Images | JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, SVG |
| Video | MP4, WebM, MOV |
| Audio | MP3, WAV, OGG, FLAC |
| Documents |
When previewing is useful
Inline previewing is handy when:
- You want to quickly check a file before deciding whether to download it
- You are on a mobile device and just want to view an image or video
- You need to review a PDF document without opening a separate app
For anything outside the supported formats, use the regular download button to save the file and open it in an appropriate app. For a full overview of what the download page includes, see How the download page works.
