ZIP & RAR

ZIP & RAR 🟧🟦 is a fast, modern archive manager for Windows. Open any archive, extract files in seconds, and compress files into new archives — completely free, with no ads and no subscription.

Whether you need to unzip a downloaded file, open a RAR archive, or protect sensitive data with AES-256 encryption, ZIP & RAR handles it all with a clean, intuitive interface. The perfect free alternative to WinRAR and WinZip.

📂 OPEN & EXTRACT

Open and browse any archive just like a folder. Preview the contents before you extract — select individual files or extract everything at once. ZIP & RAR supports all major formats so you'll never encounter an archive you can't open.

🗜️ CREATE ARCHIVES

Compress files into ZIP or 7Z archives with a single click. Choose your compression level and set a password to protect your data.

🗂️ COMPRESS ANY FILE TYPE

ZIP & RAR works with all your files. Compress PDF files, Word and Excel documents, PowerPoint presentations, RAW photos, PSDs, videos, source code, and entire project folders into a single archive. Perfect for sharing large files by email or freeing up storage space.

🔐 AES-256 ENCRYPTION

Secure your archives with AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by banks and governments. For 7Z archives, you can also encrypt file names so no one can see what's inside without the password.

🖱️ CONTEXT MENU INTEGRATION

Right-click any file in Windows Explorer to extract or compress without opening the app. ZIP & RAR installs a native Windows 11 context menu extension for instant access.

✋ DRAG & DROP

Drop files onto the app to compress them instantly, or drop an archive to open it. No extra steps needed.

A polished interface that follows your Windows theme — dark mode included.
