Artwork Opening alternatives

[Joelgas]

Hello.

Whenever I have Adobe Illustrator open to read .ai extension files, it brings the whole system operation to a crawl. Forget about using a browser whenever that program is open; it slows everything down. So I am looking for some .ai extension opening alternatives..

Thanks in advance!

Try to rename the extension to pdf, because if what I read was right it could be opened with adobe reader.
The same place also said you can install inkscape and open .ai file. Also you can open the file here https://www.viewertool.com/aiviewer.html
