Preview Certain Files without Opening Them with QuickLook Windows 10 App

July 6, 2018

Want to see the contents of a file or folder on your Windows PC without opening it? By default, Windows does not offer an intuitive way to do it. It can at best let you see a thumbnail preview of a file. There is however a cool Windows 10 app that lets you instantly preview the contents of a file and its called QuickLook.

Quick Look is a popular macOS feature that lets a user click on a file and press the SpaceBar to see its contents. Developer Paddy Xu has now brought this functionality to Windows with his QuickLook app, which is available as a free download.

How QuickLook App Works

Download and install QuickLook from the Microsoft Store and you’re good to go.

QuickLook Windows 10 App

When you open up File Explorer, all you need to do is click on a file and hit the Spacebar. If you highlight a folder, you can see the last date when it was modified, the file size and the number of files inside it. To see a preview of every file inside a folder, you need to navigate using the arrow keys.

If you highlight a zipped file and hit the Spacebar, you can see its contents and you have the option to open the contents from a link at the top left of the preview window. The app also lets you see what’s inside a video, PSDs, and MP3 among others.

QuickLook Shortcuts

Spacebar: Preview / Close Preview

Esc: Close Preview

Enter: Run & Close Preview

Ctrl+Mouse Wheel: Zoom Images/Documents
