5 Must have Free Software for Windows in 2020

    

 

Here is list of those 5 best software which I think are necessary for a windows user. These tools will increase your productivity and make your experience better than before.

1. Ueli

(by Electron)

It is a tool to search files on your computer or directly from google, without using windows 10 search. Unlike Windows 10 search, which shows Bing results on searching something which is very annoying and is very limited in functionality, it is very customizable and easy to use. You can set your on-keyboard shortcut (or use Alt+space)to launch it and it pops out instantly. It is like spotlight in macOS. I’m using it for more than 2 years now.

It is available free for both Windows and macOS with a lot of features like Application Search, Browser bookmarks search, Calculator, currency convert, email, etc. Long story short you can do a lot with just a key stroke which is very useful.

You can download it for free on your PC or Mac right now, from the download link here,

2. QuickLook

(by Paddy Xu)

This small utility brigs a very handy feature and makes your life a bit easier on Windows 10. Windows 10 built-in Photos app is good but it takes a lot of time to load a picture which is very annoying for me but QuickLook makes the preview very easy. Hit space bar after selecting a picture and it will load it’s preview within a second, which is super handy. It works with a lot of different file formats including pictures, videos, text files, PDFs, etc. You can have the preview of anything by just pressing space from your keyboard and if you hit space bar again the preview disappears.

You can download it for free on your PC, it is available in Microsoft store, download link is here,

3. VLC

(by VideoLan Organization)

It is the well-known media player for windows and macOS from long time. Windows 10 built-in media player is good but VLC gives you a ton of different controls and shortcuts. It is very easy to use and most of people are aware of it. 

You can download it for free on your PC or Mac right now, from the download link here,

4. winRAR

(by RARLAB)

Well it is also free software and is serving a lot of people from a long time. It is for compression and extraction of files. You can compress a file to reduce it size and the process is very easy. As for as the extraction goes, you can extract any file by just right-clicking and then extract.

5. Adobe Acrobat Reader DC

           (by Adobe)

Well it is specially for students which often have to deal with PDFs (Portable Document Formats). It has the same interface as Adobe Acrobat Pro DC, but it has some limitations like you can’t edit a PDF or make your own. But it also offers a lot of options same as the Pro Version, which is great. You have the feature of DC (Document Cloud), you can install adobe acrobat app on your mobile and connect with the PC and a lot more. It will provide you a seamless environment. Definitely, check this out it is awesome.
