InstantZip

It's really hard to believe that somebody created an application that truly explains through its name the exact process it undertakes to help you, but InstantZip is one such example.

The app instantly zips any number of files you throw at it without needing a fancy interface. It relies on the Windows terminal and does its job quite efficiently. The developer has included all necessary arguments for executing various tasks, but the gist of it is it creates zip archives instantly.

Yes, since it works in Command Prompt, some users might be scared to work with it but the fact is such programs end up being easier to work with than their more developed and GUI-displaying counterparts. There is no confusion here. The developer has even gone to lengths to explain how each particular command and task can be labeled in the system for accurate and fast results.

For example, you have two particular examples, one dealing with how to write source paths and the other arguments. For each, an example line is written to show the user how it needs to be done.

The program is quite fast when zipping and I must admit I was surprised by the accuracy and even the simplicity with which I could create these archives. You can drag and drop files on the executable and the program will immediately get to zipping them. This is indeed a quick and easy way to archive files and create a better order in your files.

InstantZip might not appear as a user-friendly solution for archiving your files in the beginning, but the real thing is that if you get over the fact that it relies on Command Prompt to communicate with you, it is a friendly application that can rival some of the best options and software solutions out there.
