Multi-File Preview

iOS & Web

previewFiles is available on iOS and web. On Android, use previewFile to open files one at a time. On web, each URI opens in its own browser tab instead of a swipeable gallery.

Open multiple files in a swipeable gallery using previewFiles:

await ExpoQuickLook.previewFiles({
  uris: ['/path/to/file1.pdf', '/path/to/file2.png', '/path/to/file3.txt'],
  initialIndex: 0,
  editingMode: 'disabled',
});

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
uris	string[]	required	Array of file paths or URLs
initialIndex	number	0	Which file to show first
editingMode	EditingMode	'disabled'	Editing mode for all files
requestOptions	RequestOptions	—	Headers for remote downloads

Navigation

Users can swipe left/right to navigate between files. The QuickLook controller shows a page indicator and supports the share button for each file.

Mixing Local and Remote Files

You can mix local paths and remote URLs in the same list:

await ExpoQuickLook.previewFiles({
  uris: [
    '/local/path/file.pdf',
    'https://example.com/remote.pdf',
  ],
});

Remote files are downloaded before the preview opens.
