File Thumbnail

A compact tile previewing a file by type — distinct token-styled icons for PDF, Office, CSV, image and archive files, or an inline image preview.

Preview

proposal.docx
budget-2026.xlsx
export.csv
cover.jpg
assets.zip
notes.txt
unknown.bin

Guidance

Document workflow

Upload, inspect, edit, annotate, or sign a real document.

Use when

  • Use when users need to upload, inspect, edit, annotate, or sign real documents as part of the workflow. Do not use a heavy document interface when the same task can be completed more simply in structured product UI.

Avoid when

  • Avoid using file-thumbnail as a default simply because it is available in the library. Choose it only when its interaction cost, visibility, and behavior match the job to be done.
Task length
long
Interaction cost
high
Interruptiveness
none
Input precision

Mobile / touch risk

Accessibility risk

Needs background context
Yes
Comparison needed
Yes

Preferred alternatives

  • Structured product form
  • Direct data entry

Anti-patterns

  • Heavy document UI when structured fields are simpler

Accessibility & localization

WCAG 2.2 AA RTL-ready data-slot Keyboard focus-visible Localized labels
  • Accessibility target: wcag-2.2-aa-target.
  • Uses semantic HTML and a stable data-slot attribute for styling/scripting hooks.
  • Focus-visible rings use the ring token so keyboard focus is always visible.
  • Disabled and invalid states are conveyed to assistive tech, not by color alone.
  • Targets WCAG 2.2 AA; verify contrast in light, dark, admin and customer surfaces above.
  • Labels go through __() and the component uses logical properties (ms-*, text-start, start-*) so it mirrors correctly — flip the preview to RTL to confirm.

Source

The exact, editable file ui:add writes into your app — copy it or own the whole thing. Previews render this same code; there are no preview-only components.
