Peek: Preview PDFs, Office files, and more

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

Peek is a powerful Chrome extension designed to enhance your browsing experience by providing interactive previews for links on web pages. Simply hover your mouse over a link to view a popup preview of content including PDFs, Microsoft Office documents, videos, audio files, and images, without needing to open a new tab.

Peek supports a wide range of file formats such as PDF, DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, various video formats (MP4, WebM), audio files (MP3, WAV), and popular image formats. It also previews links from services like Google Docs, YouTube, TikTok, Reddit, Instagram, Spotify, and more. The extension uses built-in browser rendering along with third-party viewers like Google Docs Viewer and Microsoft Office Web Viewer to deliver rich previews.

Built with privacy and security in mind, Peek is open-source and respects your data. This makes it an essential tool for anyone who wants to streamline content consumption and save time while browsing.

Extension safety

Risk impact
Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Peek: Preview PDFs, Office files, and more requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.
