Diagrams

On desk/lap-tops you can view a download in a browser by dragging it with your mouse between the tabs:

Some browsers may have a limit on the size of the downloads.

Some tablets open a download in a browser, some of those fail to render. Other save a download in a photo section, but it is a vector based image, not a pixel based photo. A 3rd party editor supporting SVG can show and change the download. It may need to get access to the photos section or wherever the download is stored.
