ZArchiver is a utility application for Android that offers a series of archiving and file managing solutions for mobile devices. In addition, using a simple and straightforward interface, the app allows its users to compress and decompress files that use a wide range of archive file formats, including the most common ones such as zip, 7z (7zip), rar, rar5, bzip2 (bz2), gzip (gz) and XZ. The app also provides some advanced options such as partial archive decompression, multi-part archive decompression and even the extraction of split archives to create separate files.

Without a doubt, ZArchiver is an app that strives for simplicity and practicality above everything else. This is clearly shown in its use of a streamlined, centralized platform where all the main processes can be monitored and managed. However, some of the main and most useful functions of the app (such as decompressing archive files so they can be accessed) do not even require the user to open the full interface. Instead, they can activate the decompression process directly from Android OS with only a few screen taps.

Apart from its main functions, the app provides various useful additional tools. One of the most useful additional benefits provided by ZArchiver is its ability to scan files received through mail apps such as Gmail or Yahoo Mail, allowing users to see their archived content before deciding to download it or not. Another great extra function allows users to create and manage passwords from encrypted files, preventing accidental losses due to mismanagement.
