Google Docs Viewer Now Opens 12 More File Types

Google’s online document viewer is getting better by the day. Today, Google added support for 12 more file types including the remaining Microsoft Office formats – the ones that were missing till now were Office 2007/2010 file formats – as well as Apple Pages, Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, Autodesk AutoCad, and Scalable Vector Graphics (.SVG) among many others.

While users can edit documents such as Word and spreadsheets on Google Docs Viewer, for the rest of the formats, it functions strictly on read-only mode. I tested the new capabilities by uploading a Photoshop PSD file. The rendering is not faithful, but as a simple viewer it does the job. You can’t edit it anyway.

Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run. So, here is how you can do that.

If you have changed the default Facebook profile picture and uploaded your own, it’s fine. But if not, then why not replace that boring picture of the guy with a wisp of hair sticking out of his head with something different and funny?

How to remove watermark from an image or picture

A watermark is any recognizable text, logo or pattern that appears over an image to identify the owner of the image and generally used to prevent unauthorized reuse of the image. Watermarks are usually transparent and can be difficult to remove. The difficulty or ease of removal depends on the content of the image and the position, color, size etc of the watermark.
