Zip2Fix

Zip2Fix is a lightweight software application designed with a single goal in mind: to help you extract the undamaged files from ZIP and SFX archives.

Since this is a portable program, it is important to mention that it doesn’t leave any traces in the Windows registry. You can copy it on any USB flash drive or other devices, and take it with you whenever you need to save the undamaged files from archives on the fly.

The user interface is really simplistic and allows users to quickly add the damaged archives to the list. Unfortunately, you cannot drag and drop the files directly into the primary panel, so you should use the built-in browse function instead.

Zip2Fix is only able to recover the files from the archives that were not damaged; hence it cannot extract the entire content of some ZIP and SFX items.

The application keeps a log which contains useful information about the extraction process, such as fixed file name and size, corrupted file name, the number of items that were extracted, and possible errors which may appear throughout the process. The information included in the log can be copied to the Clipboard or exported to plain text.

During our testing we have noticed that the program is able to accomplish a task pretty quickly and without errors. It doesn’t slow down the system and, since it packs only a few options, it can be mastered even by less experienced users.

All things considered, Zip2Fix is a small but powerful cross-platform utility that is able to extract the undamaged files from ZIP and SFX archives quickly and with minimum effort.
