What file format can be rendered in the Canvas Speed Grader?

[MsDean5000]

I teach photography and I am looking for a way to quickly view and grade student images.  What format should I have them save their files as when they are saving from Photoshop? I had an assignment recently and all their files were jpf and I wasn't able to view them.  I had to download every single one to view in an Adobe window.

Hi @MsDean5000 ...

There are a few Guides that address your question:

• How do I add annotated comments in student submiss... - Instructure Community - 694 - In the light-blue box, look under the section for "Compatible DocViewer Files" for a link that takes you to the following page...
• What types of files can I preview in Canvas? - Instructure Community - 617187 - this page has a table that outlines file types that can be rendered within the DocViewer of the SpeedGrader.  Acceptable image files are provided at the bottom of this Guide.

I hope this will help a bit.
