Tiny File

Tiny File is a lightweight software application developed with an overall simplicity in mind for helping users create archived items or decompress files.

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 archive or decompress items on the breeze, without having to go through installation steps.

The layout is intuitive enough to be configured without having to consult a help manual or watch online tutorials.

Tiny File gives you the possibility to compress a file or folder by uploading the items into the primary panel using the built-in browse function, so you cannot rely on “drag and drop” operations.

What’s more, you can pick the desired output format (ZIP, 7Z, GZ, or TAR), select the saving directory, specify the filename, as well as choose the compression algorithm (e.g. normal, high, low, ultra).

You can also encrypt the information by setting up passwords, decompress the selected archived items to a user-defined location, as well as change the layout of the tool by applying different background colors.

During our testing we have noticed that Tiny File carries out a task pretty quickly. It doesn’t eat up a lot of CPU and memory, so the overall performance of the computer is not hampered.

Tiny File seems to be to the right choice in case you are looking for a simple-to-use application that lets you create or decompress archived files on the fly.
