The ZIP Wizard

The ZIP Wizard is a software tool that was built specifically to help people create or edit ZIP archives with the help of a wizard, and e-mail it to others.

The installation process you are required to go through runs smooth, as it is uneventful and does not last too long. Once you wrap it up, you come face to face with a plain and clear-cut UI. It is built like a wizard, which means that you will be guided every step of the way. As a consequence, all types of users can learn how to get around it, without running into trouble.

This software application contains a folders structure from which you can drop files in order to create archives, thus enabling you to manage files in a more efficient manner. Aside from that, it is possible to view statistics such as number of files, and unzipped and packed size, as well as use relative paths, include folder structure, input a password and choose the level of the compression rate. Once this process is complete, you can create another ZIP archive, go to the containing directory, delete the source items or send the resulted archive through an e-mail message to another person.

CPU and memory usage is minimal, which means that the computer’s performance is not going to be impeded in any way. All tasks are performed quite fast, the interface is friendly to all types of users and we did not detect any kind of errors or crashes.

Taking all of this into consideration, we can safely say The ZIP Wizard is an efficient piece of software, when it comes to creating packing items in archives. However, it cannot unpack ZIPs, which is considered to be a pretty significant setback.
