Compressed File Preview

The MAC system generates a preview for an asset of the compressed file format "ZIP"


MAC system extracts the following file formats for asset preview. Priority according to the order in the brackets

  • JPG/JPEG (1)
  • TIF (2)
  • PNG (3)
  • PDF (4)


MAC system retrieves and creates a preview from the first found file of defined formats:

  • located in the archive root folder, if not found then
  • located in a nested folder if a folder has the same name as a zip file         
    • Note, no naming convention. Assuming, ZIP archive is used for marketing materials only (like corporate campaigns)


For assets for which MAC is not able to extract a preview (not supported compressed file format, not found supported file formats for preview), the MAC system displays a default placeholder image
