Cognite Document preview API is one of 90 APIs that [Cognite](https://apis.io/providers/cognite/) publishes on the [APIs.io](https://apis.io/) network, described by a machine-readable OpenAPI specification. Tagged areas include Document preview. The published artifact set on APIs.io includes an OpenAPI specification.

The document preview service is a utility API that can render most document types as an image or PDF. This can be very helpful if you want to display a preview of a file in a frontend, or for other tasks that require one of these formats. For both rendered formats there is a concept of a page. The actual meaning of a page depends on the source document. E.g. an image will always have exactly one page, while a spreadsheet will typically have one page representing each individual sheet. The document preview service can only generate preview for document sizes that do not exceed 150 MiB. Trying to preview a larger document will give an error. ### File type support Previews can be created for the following types of files: - PDF files - Spreadsheets, documents and presentations from the Microsoft and Libre Office office suites - Images
