Comparable to other archiving tools like
RAR
and
PeaZip
, ZArchiver strikes a nice balance between a
simple and user-friendly UI
and a robust feature set that can cater to those who are looking for extensive options and control. Everything
works offline
, so users don’t need an active internet connection to use it.
Mobile archiving tool
ZArchiver can manage
archive files on the go
. There is no need to connect the mobile device to a computer to manually archive files. Users can do it on their mobile device's local storage. The app features a
simple
user interface design for immediate file processing. They only need to
select the files
they wish to archive and
press the compress option
from the menu options.
There is a wide selection of archive file formats that users can choose from. Zarchiver is
compatible
with most standard archive file formats, including zip, 7z (7zip), rar, rar5, bzip2 (bz2), gzip (gz), and XZ. Moreover, the app lets users
extract
the archives directly on their device and select the file location for the output. They can also
edit
the archive as well as
read
the entire contents. However, users must make sure that their device is able to read every file format.
Bypass extractions
For added convenience, Zarchiver also allows the
opening of compressed files
. Users also have the option of either
partial
or
multi-part archive decompression
. Furthermore, they can
extract split archives
to easily retrieve separate files. The app also allows users to
check
archived files received from their
email apps
such as
Gmail
. Zarchiver can manage passwords from encrypted archives. It can also
compress multiple-selected files
into a single archive and queue them.
Handle APKs
What's more, you can use ZArchive to handle and
install APK files
for applications, as well as their corresponding
OBB archives
that contain their data, if you have them backed up and stored on your device. This way, you won't have to redownload your favorite apps and games to save on bandwidth and data if you're on a cellular connection.
Every file secured
ZArchiver is a very useful tool to have for mobile device users. The app can
save many files
into a single archive, as well as open archive files. It can also encrypt
these archived files for added security. What's more, it
supports
every standard archive file format, so you can read any file.
