Whenever we are in the Windows File Manager, we have an option to see the Preview of our files in the right pane. This is a very useful feature of Windows, but extremely slow at times. More so if you are previewing multiple file formats in quick succession.

QuickLook is a simple app that makes things zippier. Just go to the Microsoft Store and look for the QuickLook App, download it and install it. After installation, when you go to the Windows File Manager and need to preview any file, just press the space bar and you will immediately get a preview of the file you are on! It is that simple.

It also supports the following actions as indicated:

Esc: Close Preview

Enter: Run & Close Preview

Ctrl+Mouse Wheel: Zoom Images/Documents

Mouse Wheel: Adjust Volume

Try it, and get a quick preview experience.
