What is QuickLook?
The Quick Look feature from Mac OS X, which allows users to preview file contents quickly by pressing the Space key, is missed. Windows doesn't have this feature. While alternatives like WinQuickLook and Seer exist, the decision was made to create a new version because the existing ones are not actively developed, lack variety, or charge a fee.
This new version supports many file types, has a fluent design, is touchscreen friendly, supports HiDPI, allows preview from Open and Save File Dialog, and from 3rd-party file managers. It's easily extended by plugins and has a strict GPL license to ensure it remains free.

Does exactly what it should. Really nothing else to say about it but that it's awesome and I think should be included as default.
It's exactly what I needed as the closest match to macOS's Quick Look functionality.
Finally a simple one click previewer that is extensible with plugins. The first true Shapefile previewer that's worth installing.
Excellent and quick file viewer
Perfect integration of the Mac File Preview feature in Windows 10 (video, photos, pdf, txt, etc.). A must-have tool. Simple and lightweight. Make your life easier.
This has seamlessly previewed everything I have thrown at it, include odd items like gdocs links. Looks pretty slick doing it too.
Free and open source - highly recommended.
This is the perfect equivalence to macOS' built-in Quick Look feature. I'd honestly go as far as to say it surpasses the macOS equivalent by far in terms of speed and performance. In my case I often preview audio files from the desktop and macOS Quick Look fails miserably in that it doesn't restart the audio file if you happen to press Space multiple times on the same audio file, sometimes not even if you've switched file. And it also adds an annoying fade-in on the audio which makes it below par, really. This one, however, does it all perfectly. A job well done, Mr Paddy Xu!
