Getting started
In just a few minutes, your workshop becomes a visual library.
1. Install PandaFile
Download PandaFile for Windows from the Download page, then run the installer. The app runs entirely on your machine: your files never leave your computer.
2. Add a folder
On first launch, add one or more watched folders (your projects, your downloads, your cut-file library…). PandaFile never moves or copies your files: it only builds an index and previews.
3. Let the indexing run
Indexing runs in the background: previews, dimensions, entity counts, formats. You can keep working while it does.
4. Preview and find
- Browse the library as thumbnails (Line/Fill mode for DXF files).
- Use search (Ctrl + F) and tags/collections to filter.
- The right-hand panel shows the details of the selected file.
5. Open with your software
Double-click to open, or use “Open with” to send the file to LightBurn, Illustrator, your 3D slicer, and more.
Next step: explore the features.
