Apple is bringing Preview to iPadOS

Apple is bringing Preview, macOS’s built-in image and PDF viewer, to the iPad. Starting with iPadOS 26, Preview will now come preinstalled on iPads. On desktop, Preview allows users to view and edit documents and images and Apple is bringing this functionality to its tablet by leveraging Apple Pencil.

Using Apple Pencil Markup, users will mark up and edit PDFs and images. If you don’t have an Apple Pencil, touch will work as well.
