I want to be able to preview AI files in explorer in Windows 10. Does anyone know how to??

I have found NO extensions to support this feature and 3rd party programs like Sagethump can't preview this filetype (AI).

Please help!!! 😄

It does cost a few bucks. But it works!!! 😄

Install this software and you can see thumbnails OF ALL IMAGE FILES. AI, PSD, SVG etc. Took me so long to fix this once and for all.

Hi, if I understand correctly you would like to see the preview of the file as it happens on Mac OS, right?

No. I dont't want the spacebar pop-up thing from Mac. I just want to see the content og the AI files in the thumbnails - right now I just see the AI program icon. 🙂
