# Viewing PDF, FB2, EPUB files

You can view the files found on the internet directly in [the Yandex Browser beta version](https://browser.yandex.com/beta/). By default, files in supported formats open in Yandex Browser immediately after you download them. If a site owner doesn't allow you to open files automatically, the file will be downloaded to your computer. You can [open it manually](#open) in Yandex Browser. You can control the appearance of files in your Yandex Browser window as you view them and bookmark pages in [ebooks](#view-files-pdf-ebook).
