Your files, with picture, video and PDF editors.
Find your way around
- Places on the left: Home, Desktop, Documents, Downloads, Pictures, Music, Videos, your pinned folders, your drives and the Recycle Bin.
- Files in the middle, as a Grid with thumbnails or a List with columns. Switch with the button on the right of the toolbar.
- Details on the right: a preview and information for whatever is selected.
- Search at the end of the toolbar, in This folder or Everywhere.
- Split view shows two folders side by side; drag files between them.
Work with files
- Select with a click, Ctrl or Shift-click, by dragging a box, or Ctrl+A. A bar appears with Cut, Copy, Rename and Delete.
- Right-click for everything else: Open with, Copy to, Create shortcut, Show in Explorer and more.
- Copy and paste work with Windows Explorer and other apps, and so does drag and drop.
- Undo anything with Ctrl+Z: moves, copies, renames, deletes, new folders and edits.
- Delete moves things to the Recycle Bin. Restore them from there.
- .zip, .7z and .rar archives open like folders. Right-click to extract or compress.
View and edit
Open a picture, video or PDF and it opens in Files' own viewer. Switch to Edit with the pencil:
- Pictures: crop, adjust light and colour, filters, draw, text, shapes and resize.
- Videos: trim, split, crop, rotate, change speed or sound, add text, and save as MP4, WebM or GIF.
- PDFs: edit text, highlight, draw, comment, sign, redact, reorder or delete pages, combine, split, fill in forms.
Save replaces the file and keeps the old one in the Recycle Bin; Save copy saves next to it.
