Bandizip is a Lightweight, Fast and free All-In-One Zip Archiver.
Bandizip is ultra-fast file compression software with an easy-to-use interface.
It allows you to create your own compressed files such as ZIP, 7Z, TAR, ISO and extract most popular compressed files like RAR, etc.
Bandizip can create Zip, ZipX, TAR, TGZ, LZH, ISO, 7Z, EXE and open RAR, ACE, AES, ALZ, APK, ARJ, BH, BIN, BZ, BZ2, CAB, EGG, GZ, J2J, JAR, IMG, IPA, ISZ, LHA, LZMA, PMA, TBZ, TBZ2, TGZ, TLZ, TXZ, UDF, WAR, WIM, XPI, XZ, and Z archives files.
This program is able to create split compression files as Zip (zip, z01, z02, 7z.001,...), Zipx (zipx, zx01, zx02,...), 7Z (7z.001, 7z.002,...) and EXE (exe, e01, e02,...) to certain size, such as 25MB or 700MB. It also can extract the split RAR files (.part1.rar, .part2.rar,...) created by WinRAR.
Bandizip uses the AES-256 encryption which is one of the most secure encryption algorithms when creating the 7z or zipx file format. An archive compressed with Bandizip can be extracted using all kinds of file compression software including WinZip, WinRAR, 7-Zip, etc.
Bandizip allows the users to preview compressed contents with right click menu on the Windows Explore. In addition, Users directly see an image file contained in compressed ZIP, RAR, 7Z, LZH or TAR files without extracting.
Another advantage of Bandizip is that it fully supports Unicode to ensure international characters are displayed for filenames in archives. Non-English characters such as Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, etc. will be handled properly and it will be extracted without breaking the original filenames.
What's New: 1. Improved compatibility with Windows 10. 2. Bug fixed - Failed to open some RAR, ZIP files.

• It has a big drawback. It installs only for one user. In Windows 7, when logged in as administrator user account (good practice when running installers) and install Bandizip, it installs only for the admin user account. When another standard user account on the PC tries to use Bandizip. there is no right-click Bandizip context menu from Windows Explorer. That context menu exists only for the admin account. Bandizip developers are aware of this and don't see it as a problem. Their forum reply: "Sorry. Bandizip supports only "current user" and no plan to support "all users". (It is intended to avoid problems with UAC.)" This is very strange. Clearly they expect that only Windows admin accounts would want to use this. They really should learn how to install properly for Windows 7 multiple accounts, just like most software.
