QuickLook is a lightweight preview program that allows users to bring one of macOS style interface components to their Windows desktops and laptops.
Spacebar
It is possible to view a wide variety of file types instantly by launching a default Explorer and pressing the spacebar. Users remove the need to open full applications for simple tasks like checking a PDF page, verifying an image or skimming through a text-based document. The preview window is lightweight and designed to load content smoothly, even for large videos or images.
Additionally, when a file is being modified in the background, you automatically refresh the display to reflect the latest changes without manual intervention. This is especially useful when checking log files, auto-saving documents or edited images in real time. You do need to constantly reopen folders to check for updates.
Media
For videos and audio tracks, there are built-in controls for play, pause, skip, and volume. You can even scrub through clip timelines or switch songs without opening a dedicated player. However, if you need a more comprehensive program designed specifically for viewing media content, you may install QQ Player.
