DiskInternals ZIP Repair

Having a ZIP archive affected by corruptions could turn into a nightmare, especially when it bundles numerous files you can’t dispense with.

Fortunately, there are workarounds when dealing with such a situation, and a software solution such as DiskInternals ZIP Repair is one of them.

Following a quick and uneventful setup process, users are met with a simplistic wizard-like GUI that makes configuration a breeze. In fact, the user input required by the program to carry out its task is rather limited, with the recovery process being completed independently once you indicate the archive that needs to be handled.

In order to do that, you can browse for your ZIP archive using the dedicated button. By default, the application saves the repaired archive in the same location as the input file, but you may change it as you see fit. Apart from that, it should be mentioned that, unless requested otherwise, the program creates a ZIP archive bearing a name similar to the original so that you can easily find it. But once again, you can customize this aspect as well.

And that is about it in terms of user input, with the software utility being able to carry out the recovery operation without further help. Still, you may want to know that, before repairing them, the app shows a list of archived files that would be restored. However, this is purely informative, since there is no way to select only some of them.

The last window you are prompted with informs you of the success rates of the entire operation. If no issues are encountered, you may open the archive once the wizard is closed, which some users might appreciate.

DiskInternals ZIP Repair is a lightweight application capable of repairing flawed ZIP archives in the blink of an eye. The program is intuitive and requires basic tech skills, which, along with the fact that it brought about no inconveniences during our tests, makes us say that it is a handy tool for those who want a fast and simple tool of its kind.
