It’s Portable

XYplorer is a portable file manager. It doesn’t require any installation, stores all its settings in the application data folder, and running it doesn’t change your system or registry. Take it with you and run it from a USB flash drive. File management to go.

It’s Tabbed

Tabs are the easiest way to move between folders. Drag them, hide them, lock them, name them, or drop files on them. Tabs remember their configuration individually and across sessions. Plus, you get tab sets and dual panes.

It’s Functional

XYplorer is designed to make you faster. Numerous usability enhancements in an attractive interface help to streamline your workflow and increase your efficiency. You will definitely save a lot of time.

It’s Scriptable

Yes, you can script this application. Custom solutions for custom tasks. No plugins needed, scripts run out of the box. Even beginners can benefit from this feature, as many ready-to-use scripts are available in the forum.

It’s Fast

Speed has always been a major design goal for XYplorer. The code is constantly optimized for performance, with zero tolerance for slowness. In addition, the application uses very little RAM, the executable is small (10 MB), and it loads almost instantly.

It’s Reliable and Robust

You can trust XYplorer. It works as intended and expected and is very hard to break. Any problems are addressed immediately and usually fixed within hours. A large community follows the development closely and constantly tests the frequent beta releases.

It’s Customizable

You can fine-tune the application to look and behave exactly the way you want. Everything from fonts and colors, to custom toolbar buttons, to file icons and program shortcuts. And every bit of it is completely portable. Even the dark mode.

It’s Friendly and Future Proof

All stored data (catalog, configuration, custom buttons, custom columns, scripts, tags database) are in plain text format, stored in fully portable files, easily readable and editable by humans or machines, making the whole setup completely transparent and future-proof. You will never run into compatibility issues.

It’s Responsive

Your voice will be heard and taken seriously, you’ll get immediate feedback most of the time, and your request may actually be implemented sooner than you think.

It’s Pronounceable

The XYplorer Rookie License Professional is $14.95 per user. It is valid for all of the user’s computers and never expires. It includes all the features of the Professional Edition, but does not include free version upgrades (the license for v27.00 won't work for v27.10). The latter is the only difference from the Standard License Professional ($34.95) below, which includes a full year of free upgrades.
