Folder Preview Pro 2.12 Overview

Folder Preview Pro is a Quick Look extension for macOS developed by Anybox Ltd, built to bring Apple's native Quick Look preview system to folders and archive files — something Finder doesn't support out of the box. It requires macOS 12.0 or later, is distributed only through the developer's own website rather than the Mac App Store, and is sold as a one-time purchase covering an individual license for up to 5 Macs with lifetime free updates, including major new versions. Version 2.12, released August 18, 2026, adds a "Copy Path" action, improves localizations, and fixes several minor issues. What sets Folder Preview Pro apart from the developer's separate, lighter "Folder Preview" app (sold on the Mac App Store) is the depth of what it unlocks by not being sandboxed: it shows thumbnails for the same range of file types Finder itself supports, previews the contents of archive files (ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ), and lets users open, copy, and preview files directly from within the Quick Look window without needing to extract an archive or leave the preview first. Beyond Finder, it also works inside third-party file managers including ForkLift, Bloom, Path Finder, Commander One, and QSpace, and lets users navigate into subfolders directly from the Quick Look window rather than closing it and reopening Finder.

Key Features

Quick Look for Folders Selecting a folder and invoking Quick Look (such as pressing the spacebar) displays a visual preview of its contents — files and subfolders — without needing to open the folder in a new window. Archive File Previews Previews the contents of archive files in ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, and XZ formats directly through Quick Look, without needing to extract them first. Open, Copy & Preview Files In-Place Supports basic file operations — opening and copying — directly from within the Quick Look window, and lets users preview an individual file (via right-click → Preview) without leaving the folder preview. Navigate Into Subfolders Lets users navigate into other folders directly from the Quick Look window, rather than needing to close the preview and browse in a separate Finder window. Works Beyond Finder Functions not only in Finder but also inside third-party file managers including ForkLift, Bloom, Path Finder, Commander One, and QSpace. Icons & List View with Customization Includes an Icons view alongside List view, with settings for text size, icon size options, a "Keep folders on top" toggle, and adjustable Quick Look window size. Copy Path Action (New in 2.12) Adds a dedicated "Copy Path" action for quickly copying a file or folder's file-system path from within the Quick Look window. Liquid Glass & macOS 26 Support Adopts Apple's Liquid Glass visual design for the toolbar and status bar on macOS 26, alongside dark and mono app icon support.

How to Use Folder Preview Pro 2.12

Select any folder or archive file in Finder (or a supported third-party file manager) and press the spacebar to invoke Quick Look. Browse the folder's contents visually, switching between Icons and List view as preferred. Right-click a file within the preview and select "Preview" to inspect it without leaving the Quick Look window. Use the built-in Copy or Copy Path actions to grab a file or its file-system path directly from the preview. Navigate into subfolders directly from within the Quick Look window rather than switching back to a separate Finder window. Adjust settings such as text size, icon size, window size, and "Keep folders on top" to match your preferred workflow.
