You can download QuickLook free of charge from the Microsoft Store. Seer, an app also available for Windows, is very similar to QuickLook, but I personally prefer the features and UI of QuickLook and the fact it’s regularly updated through the Microsoft Store. It works well for most file types that you’d want to preview, but GIFs might take an extra few seconds to load. You can check out more Preview app tips for Mac here. Unfortunately there’s not many options to customize the app, but it does also support ctrl+ mouse wheel to zoom in on documents and PDFs and you can always quickly close the preview by hitting escape or move to the next document by hitting up / down. Preview is an excellent image application with a ton of capabilities, and despite being bundled with every version of Mac OS it remains an often overlooked app. It works just like the macOS Quick Look feature, and you can hit enter to open in the default app, or choose a different app to open the file in. QuickLook does exactly what its name suggests, allowing you to preview most file types from within File Explorer.
I stumbled on QuickLook last week in the Microsoft Store and it’s exactly what the doctor ordered in that regard. It’s a useful feature that Microsoft hasn’t brought to Windows 10 yet, but a new app in the Microsoft Store now offers the best way to get this macOS feature on a PC. While macOS features a built-in previewer app, users of the more popular Windows OS often have to rely on third-party applications to preview their files in Explorer. If you’re a Mac user you’re probably used to just hitting the space bar to see a quick preview of a file.
