Zed for Windows: Fast, Native, and Ready for Your Team
The wait is over—Zed for Windows is finally here! Built from the ground up, Zed delivers a blazing-fast, native coding experience tailored for Windows users. Whether you're a solo developer or part of a team, Zed is designed to supercharge your workflow with its powerful features and seamless integration.
Why Zed for Windows Stands Out
🚀 Built from Scratch for Windows
Zed isn’t just another port. It’s over-engineered to feel more native than even Microsoft’s own editor. Say goodbye to lag and hello to a smooth, responsive coding environment that feels right at home on Windows.
🐧 WSL & Remoting Built-In
Love working with Linux? Zed now speaks WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux). Open your Linux distro as a first-class remote target and edit projects inside it—no hassle, no compromise.
🧩 Full Extension Parity
All Zed extensions work seamlessly on Windows—no special steps, no caveats. Enjoy the same powerful plugins and customizations you love, now on Windows.
🤖 Agentic Coding on Windows
Zed’s AI features, including edit predictions and ACP-powered agents, are fully supported on Windows. Let AI assist you in writing better code, faster.
🎨 A Refreshed Rendering Backend
To ensure compatibility with almost all Windows versions (including VMs), Zed uses a new rendering backend based on DirectX 11. This means better performance and reliability, no matter your setup.
Built in the Open
