View and performance

Inspect artwork in the mode that matches the task.

Outline / Preview

Toggle between normal preview and outline mode with Command + Y. Outline mode makes path structure visible without styling distractions.

Pixel Preview

Inspect how vector artwork will look as pixels, useful for icons, web graphics and detailed screen assets.

Zoom controls

Zoom in, zoom out, fit in window, actual size and zoom to selection support fast navigation in large documents.

Edges, artboard and page tiling

Hide or show edges, artboard and page tiling depending on whether you need construction details or a cleaner artwork preview.

Transparency grid

Show a checkerboard grid to evaluate transparent objects and alpha-heavy artwork accurately.

Display Performance

Switch between Fast Display, Typical Display and High Quality Display to balance quality and editing speed.

Dark mode

The app follows the macOS appearance, light or dark, making long editing sessions more comfortable in different lighting conditions.

Pixel preview and canvas inspection

Use Pixel Preview, Outline mode and the transparency grid together to inspect the same artwork as outlines, as pixels and as the finished composition.
