The appearance of the tool can be changed to a large extent with icon sets and configuration options. A big advantage is also the complete dusting of labels and messages - this makes processing much easier. An important factor in favor of Bandizip is also the ability to link the program to supported extensions and to integrate with the Windows Explorer context menu.

Bandizip is available for free under a free software license (it also allows you to use it for commercial purposes). The application works with the latest operating systems of the Windows family. The manufacturer has also prepared a release for Mac OS X users - you can download it from the official website.
Interestingly, the program also includes a file integrity check, ensuring that the file you are trying to compress or decompress is actually available. This can help protect your computer.
Pros:
It is important to note that only the paid version checks for files or malware. It may be worth upgrading to the paid version if you are really concerned about the security features.
