More about Bandizip

The application has an extremely light, beginner-friendly interface. The main window is minimalist - it contains only the most frequently called functions. 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. In addition to the standard functions that allow you to create or unpack an archive, the application offers you to view the contents of a package without opening it. Simply right-click the archive.

The main features of the tool are:

  • edit a ZIP file (add / delete / rename);
  • a set of basic functions that allow you to edit data (renaming, creating directories, adding comments);
  • ability to create SFX packages (self-extracting archive);
  • additional encryption with ZipCrypto;
  • creation of archives consisting of several parts;
  • function of quick archiving, skipping files, which compression gives insignificant results;
  • saving and reading archives in the following formats: Zip, TAR, 7Z, ZipX, EXE, TGZ;
  • Read archives in the following formats: RAR, J2J, LZH, XZ, ISO, BH, BZ2, IPA, CAB, TBZ2, TXZ, APK, ARJ, RAR, TBZ, IMG,TLZ, GZ, BZ, WIM, JAR, WAR, EGG, UDF, ALZ, ACE, PMA, LHA, TGZ;
  • up to 6 times faster compression when using multiple cores; easy data searching in the archive;
  • Drag & Drop support;
  • Unicode or MBCS filename for ZIP format;
  • testing the archives for correctness.

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:

  • Independent analysis has shown that Bandizip performs very well across a wide range of metrics, including speed, formats and more.
  • The app is free to download to your computer.
  • The free version of the app will meet the needs of the vast majority of individual users. The paid version should usually only be used by companies.

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. However, for most people, the free version will work fine and take care of all your file compression and extraction needs.
