What it is

ZipBastion in a paragraph

ZipBastion creates, opens and repairs archives. It handles ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZ and ISO in both directions and reads RAR, encrypts with AES, splits large archives into parts, and lets you look inside an archive before you extract it. It sits in the Explorer right-click menu and stays out of the way.

Planned for the first release

  • Create and extract ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZ and ISO; open RAR
  • AES-256 encryption with file names hidden; split into parts of any size
  • Preview and search inside archives without extracting
  • Repair damaged archives and recover what can be recovered
  • Explorer integration: right-click to compress, extract here, extract to folder
  • Free, with no trial timer and no upgrade dialog

This page describes what we intend to build. There is nothing to download yet, and we do not take pre-orders. When ZipBastion is ready it will be listed as available on the products page. Have a job in mind for it? Tell us through the feedback form.
