IZArc

Even though the first names when it comes to archiving files might still be veterans WinZip or WinRAR, there are also several reliable and just as feature-packed alternatives out there, such as IZArc.

As soon as you installed IZArc, you get the possibility to set it as the default app for handling a wide range of formats, such as 7Z, ARC, ARJ, BIN, CAB, ISO, JAR, LHA, MDF, RAR, ZIP, and many others.

If you are not sure about which of these archive types you want to work with, you can adjust these changes from the Configuration window later on.

There are two ways to enjoy the functions of IZArc: the first one involves manually launching the GUI and selecting the operation you are interested in from the main window. This way, you can create new archives, extract the contents of existing packages or check their integrity.

The second method is to right-click a file and select one of the available actions. You can customize these options as you see fit to ensure they match your requirements: test the archive, send it via e-mail, create or extract archive, convert or open the main window of the app.

IZArc makes it possible for you to not only build new archives or extract files from your current ones, but also scan documents using VirusTotal, verify the archives' integrity or create EXE files that can be launched even by those without any PC skills.

Moreover, you can encrypt or decrypt archives, create multi-volume sets or convert archives from one format to another, as you choose. Searching inside an archive without actually opening it first is also possible when using IZArc, as well as converting CD images to other formats you might need.
