Description

Preview documents, videos, music, and more with a mouse hover.

Peek is a browser extension that shows previews for links to files and supported services in web pages. Just hover your mouse over a link, and Peek will display a small popup with an interactive preview of the link's content.

Peek can show previews for PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, YouTube video links, audio files, Google Docs, and much more. It uses the browser's built-in rendering features, in combination with the Google Docs Viewer, Microsoft Office Web Viewer, and other third-party embedded viewers to display rich previews.

Supported file types:
- PDF, TXT, and RTF documents
- WebM, MP4, M4V, OGG, OGV, and Imgur GIFV video
- MP3, M4A, OGA, OGG, and WAV audio
- Word documents (.doc, .docx)
- Excel spreadsheets (.xls, .xlsx)
- PowerPoint files (.ppt, .pptx)
- OpenDocument files (.odt, .ods, etc.)
- JPG, PNG, APNG, SVG, GIF, ICO, and BMP images

Supported links:
- Google Docs links
- iCloud Keynote links
- YouTube videos and Shorts
- Reddit links
- Imgur links
- TikTok videos
- Mastodon posts
- Facebook posts
- Instagram posts and reels
- Threads posts
- Spotify tracks, albums, and podcast episodes

Excellent extension and a very responsive developer. I've tried lots of the office extensions on chrome and most are rubbish, some are malicious. This extension is innovative and so useful. The peek window to preview files before fully opening them is excellent, The pop out window is great because you resize the window and have it open alongside your other work. This doesn't have editing capabilities, just viewing. But is very useful for viewing documents conveniently. Highly recommend

I really liked this extension when it worked but now it seems like it doesn't work at all regardless of what website I am on and what link it is.
