Preview Almost Any File Quickly With <\/span>QuickLook <\/span><\/h1>\n

QuickLook works with Windows 10<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Imagine a free Windows Store app you can install that allows you to highlight almost any file in File Explorer and preview it just by pressing the spacebar. Press the spacebar again and the preview disappears.<\/span><\/p>\n

And another nice feature of this app is when you are previewing a file you can press Enter again to open the file in the default app. For instance, if you\u2019re previewing a PDF document, you press Enter to open it in your default app for PDF files.<\/span><\/p>\n

The app is called QuickLook and we find it works exactly as described by its author. With that cool segue, we’re going bring in the author to tell you more about QuickLook.<\/span><\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

One of the few features I missed from Mac OS X is Quick Look. It allows user peek into a file content in a lightening speed by just pressing the Space key. Windows, on the other hand, does not has this handy feature \u2026 until now.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am aware that several alternatives are already available on the Internet (e.g. WinQuickLook and Seer). Despite these options, I still decide to craft another one by myself, because they are either not being actively developed, lacks of variety, or asks for a amount of $$$.<\/span><\/p>\n
