QuickZip is a powerful and fast compress utility.

There have been a load of different types of compression programs available for Windows, but Quick Zip is a little bit different for the fact that it is offered as a freeware application. While freeware file archivers are quite common these days, Quick Zip provides a lot of the features you would expect with a commercial product.

Geared towards both power users and novices, Quick Zip has a well-designed interface. The main interface includes all of the normal features you might need and provides a Windows Explorer-style list of files and folders along with the properties of archives.

Quick Zip is a fast and effective archiver, but unfortunately it has limited to no support for other types of archives like RAR, ACE or GunZip.

Features of Quick Zip

  • Explorer like interface
  • One window serves multiple tasks.
  • Open wide range of archives as folders.
  • Supports bookmarks
  • Toolbar addin

Compatibility and License

Quick Zip has been released under the open source GPL license on Windows from file archivers. The license provides the options to freely download, install, run and share this program without any restrictions. The source code for Quick Zip should be freely available and modifications are certainly permitted as well as the option to inspect the software.

What version of Windows can Quick Zip run on?

Quick Zip can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.
