Ghostscript is open-source software which enables XnView and related programs to load PostScript-based file formats (PS + EPS + AI) as well as PDF for display, printing, and conversion.

Ghostscript has to be downloaded and installed separately.

Download

XnView Classic as well as the 32-bit editions of XnView MP, XnConvert, nConvert, and XnShell require Ghostscript 32-bit to be installed (even on 64-bit operating systems), while all 64-bit versions need Ghostscript 64-bit.

How to activate thumbnails for PostScript files in XnView's browser and shell extension:

XnView Classic

XnView MP
