InDesign viewer for Frame.io

Written by Jared

Adobe InDesign files (.indd) can be viewed and reviewed as full, high-resolution, multi-page previews in Frame.io, powered by Adobe's own InDesign rendering engine. Every InDesign document will render natively and at full fidelity.

InDesign viewer controls

  • Use the up/down arrow keys to go between pages

  • Scroll down the page drawer on the left side, or jump to a specific part of the PDF by typing and entering your desired page number at the bottom of the left panel.

  • Loupe by holding Shift to inspect things at 100% resolution.

  • Zoom in and out by pressing the +/- buttons, then use Space + drag to pan through your document

Commenting on your InDesign file

Selecting a page from the left panel will allow you to leave comments on specific pages, including anchored comments, making feedback and page markup a more organized process for teams.

If you need to leave a comment that’s not specific to a page, clicking on the book icon will post it across the entire PDF.

To comment directly on your InDesign, PDF, and PowerPoint files, use the Text Markup feature. Highlight key passages and add comments with full visual context, right within the document. Learn more about Text Markups here.

FAQ

Q: Are there any size or page limits?
A: For the best viewing experience, we do not recommend uploading files larger than 1000 pages or 2 GB in size.

Q: Will images found in InDesign files appear in high-resolution?
​A:
Embedded images will render in high-resolution, while linked images will render as a low-resolution preview. To make them high-res, the author should embed the linked assets into the document before uploading (InDesign → Links panel → Embed Link / Embed All).
