How to prevent Safari from opening downloaded files without permission
[Mac] How to prevent Safari from opening downloaded files without permission
When I download a file using the Mac version of Safari, it automatically opens after the download is complete.
When you download an image or PDF, the preview starts automatically.
It's fine if the app that opens automatically is the app you want to use, but there are many times when you want to open the downloaded file in another app or at your own time.

Therefore, in this article, we will introduce settings to prevent the automatic opening of videos, images, PDFs, sound files, compressed files, etc. after downloading files in Safari for Mac.
It's very easy to set up though.
- Open Safari
- Click Safari on the top left of the screen
- Click Settings or Preferences
- Click General in the opened window
- Uncheck Open "safe" files after download at the bottom of the window
Personally, I want compressed files such as zip to be opened without permission, so it would be nice to be able to set "files that open automatically" and "files that do not open automatically", but for now (as of March 2023) Doesn't seem to be configurable.
