## Summary

Google says Gemini now lets users generate, preview, and edit PDFs, Google Docs, Google Sheets, presentations, Markdown files, TXT files, and code directly within its interface, without leaving the service. The company says the feature is available to all users, in every language in which Gemini is offered and globally, including free accounts and paid plans, according to Tecnoblog.

PDF editing and previewing work on the web and in Gemini’s mobile apps; the other formats are supported only on the web for now. Users can also open documents in full-screen mode, highlight passages to ask Gemini questions, or request changes—such as turning a table into a graph.

## Why it matters (editorial interpretation)

By concentrating generation, review, and editing for several formats in one interface, the feature could reduce tool switching for document and code tasks. The different levels of web and mobile support still limit where each workflow can take place.
