This is a software for Mac users that delivers an all-purpose preview experience. It offers a universal platform for previewing video, audio, images and documents. With this software, users can conveniently preview all file formats in one place.
DropLook is an amazing software that resides in your dock, waiting eagerly for you to drop a file onto it. The best part about it is that this software is available as a free download, making it a one-of-a-kind utility. At the core of the software is the Quick Look technology that is included with the Mac OS X Leopard. Quick Look is capable of previewing a wide variety of documents, and it does it very well.
However, one drawback of Quick Look is that it goes into hiding when you switch to another application, leaving you with only one Quick Look preview window open at a time. DropLook is different in this regard. It keeps the preview windows open even when you change to another application, allowing you to open as many preview windows as you like.
Another amazing aspect of DropLook is that it ships with preview generators for iWork and Microsoft Office documents. This means that you can view Pages, Numbers, Keynote, PowerPoint, Word, and Excel documents without having to install the respective applications. The icing on the cake is that DropLook is open source for Cocoa developers.
The only snag with DropLook is that it relies on Quick Look technology, which is a part of the "private" framework on shipping versions of Mac OS X. Therefore, it is likely that one day DropLook may stop working. In such a scenario, you are entitled to a complete refund. It is also worth noting that DropLook is licensed and distributed under the terms of the BSD License. Overall, DropLook is a must-have utility for Mac users looking to simplify document previewing.
