Preview is the built-in image and PDF viewer of the iOS, iPadOS & macOS operating system. In addition to viewing, and printing digital images and Portable Document Format (PDF) files, it can also edit and annotate these media types. It employs the Quartz graphics layer, and the ImageIO and Core Image frameworks.
