AZip v2.50

2022-08-28 Filed in: Library
AZip is a Zip archive manager.

Project on SourceForge

Some features:



  • Multi-document
  • Flat view / Tree view toggle
  • Simple to use (at least I hope so 😉 )
  • Useful built-in tools:
  • Text & name search function through an archive, without having to extract files
  • Archive updater
  • Integrity check
  • Archive recompression, using an algorithm-picking approach for improving a Zip archive's compression.
  • Encryption
  • Zip compression formats supported: Reduce, Shrink, Implode, Deflate, Deflate64, BZip2, LZMA
  • Free, open-source
  • Portable (in the sense: no installation needed, no DLL, no configuration file)

New in version 2.5 :



  • The Zip_64 format extension is needed when there are more than 65535 entries or more than 4 GiB data for a single entry's compressed or uncompressed size, or for a whole archive.

"Under the hood" features:

  • (regarding Windows "skin") Uses the GWindows library - all in Ada.
