Umm this is amazing!

The company I work for displays large engineering drawings in the browser; right now we have to choose between manual png conversion and loading the vectors directly (each one has its own problems). I tried the snippet application with one drawing and it renders perfectly.

For our application we have a 'Google Maps' style viewport where you pan and zoom with the mouse, though. Right now I'm seeing if Gemini 2.5 Pro can refactor the snippet application to work this way. Did you have any plans for building another type of snippet application which works in the fashion?

Quick update — we just added marquee zoom! You can now draw a rectangle to zoom into a specific area, which should make navigation even more intuitive (especially for large drawings).

You can try it here: https://snippet.embedpdf.com/

Thanks so much, that’s a huge compliment, really appreciate it.

Actually, most of what you’re describing is already there. We built a tiling plugin (https://github.com/embedpdf/embed-pdf-viewer/tree/main/packa...) that works kind of like Google Maps — instead of rendering the full document, it splits it into tiles and only renders what’s visible in the viewport. That’s how we keep it fast even for really large documents.

Right now we support pinch-zoom on mobile, but mouse pan/zoom isn’t wired up yet. Would love to see you collaborate on the project if you’re interested. This kind of feedback is a big encouragement!
