This project is currently under heavy development. Come back often to see what's new.
One of the few features I missed from macOS is Quick Look. It allows user peek into a file content in lightning speed by just pressing the Space key. Windows, on the other hand, does not have 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 decided to craft another one by myself, because they are either not being actively developed, lack of variety, or ask for an amount of $$$.
- Tons of supported file types (full list here)
- Fluent design (new in version 0.3)

Get it from one of the following sources:

What are the differences between .msi, .zip, Nightly and Store versions?
- Run
QuickLook.exe(only necessary if autostart is disabled) - Select any file or folder (on the Desktop, in a File Explorer window, in an Open or Save-File dialogue, doesn't matter)
- Press Spacebar
- Enjoy the preview and interact with it
- Preview next file by clicking on it or using arrow-keys (arrow-keys move selection in the background if the preview window is not in focus)
