Preview every file in a folder
Your file explorer lists them; this shows you what is inside them. Windows draws a thumbnail for pictures and videos and gives everything else the same grey icon, so a folder of PDFs, spreadsheets, markdown and code is a wall of identical rectangles. Here each one previews itself, and you find what you want by looking rather than by opening forty files one at a time.

- Is my folder uploaded?
- No. The folder is read inside this browser tab and nothing is sent anywhere — open your Network tab while you use it and you will see zero uploads. It is also why this can exist at all: reading somebody’s whole folder is not a thing you would do with a site that takes copies.
- Why does Windows only show thumbnails for photos?
- Explorer ships thumbnail handlers for images and video and falls back to a generic icon for everything else. So a folder of forty PDFs, spreadsheets and markdown files is forty identical rectangles, and the only way to find one is to open them one at a time.
- Can I delete files from here?
- In Chrome and Edge, yes — and they move to a _trash folder inside the folder you picked rather than being destroyed, so getting one back is a drag in File Explorer. Other browsers do not offer the folder permission that requires, so the button is not shown there rather than failing when you press it.
- What can’t it preview?
- Photoshop, Illustrator, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and archives — each needs a parser or a rasteriser a browser does not have. Those files are still listed, with the reason, because hiding them would make your folder look emptier than it is.
- How many files can it handle?
- Free previews up to 30 files, which covers most real folders. Pro removes the cap. Either way it stops before it would try to render something like node_modules, and tells you it stopped.
