Generate Thumbnails for Documents like Docs and Excel Sheets

[krishna_sai]

Hi Team,
When we upload an asset like excel files and Word files thumbnails doesn't get generated unlike pdf's.
Is there any way how we can achieve this?
Below Doc says it doesn't support thumbnail generation for these types

Thanks,

@krishna_sai that's correct AEM assets ootb doesn't generate thumbnails for these filetypes, to generate thumbnails for these filetypes you need to implement custom media handler as detailed in below url.
