A classic-looking utility that can help with creating, extracting and password securing zipped archives, in a quick and simple way. #Create archive #Zip archive #Unzip archive #Archiver #Extractor #Extract
Plain Simple ZIP is a decade old application that focuses on zipping/unzip solutions. Since then, multiple applications with the same purposes — without naming them — caught speed and established themselves as dominant zip utilities. However, Plain Simple ZIP is still up and running, and if you are familiar with it or just want to try a vintage piece of software, you're more than welcome.
The UI appears to be unchanged even after all these years, and the classic flavor is still visible. In spite of that, the app is very responsive and no freezes or crashes were experienced during the testing phase.
Plain Simple ZIP can help you view zipped items as well as extract them to a directory of your choice. Also, you can zip files and make them self-extracting archives. On top of that, you can easily add a protective password just by ticking a box.
To sum it up, Plain Simple ZIP is able to do things that even the contemporary apps can do, but sadly this tool has a weak point that might have impacted its rise and that is its price. While most popular archive solutions out there are free, PSZ starts with a handicap from a competitive standpoint.
