This project is currently under heavy development. Come back often to see what's new.

Background

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 ... until now.

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 $$$.

Highlights

  • Tons of supported file types (full list here)
  • Fluent design (new in version 0.3)
  • Touchscreen friendly
  • HiDPI support
  • Preview from Open and Save File Dialog
  • Preview from 3rd-party file managers (see a list here)
  • Easy extended by plugins
  • Strict GPL license to keep it free forever
