Got a RAR or 7Z file and don't want to pay for WinRAR? BreeZip is a free archive app from the Microsoft Store that opens ZIP, RAR, 7Z, ISO and more, previews images inside an archive, and creates password-protected archives.
What can you do with an archive in BreeZip?
Open an archive to browse its contents, then extract files when you need them. For archives containing images, BreeZip includes an image-preview feature, so you can view those images within the archive workflow.
BreeZip also compresses files into new archives, and you can add a password while doing so. The Password Manager keeps passwords for encrypted archives you use often.
Archive formats and contents
BreeZip supports opening and extracting common archive formats including ZIP, RAR, and 7Z. Its format support also covers ISO, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, and XZ archives. That range lets the same app handle archives encountered in different formats.
Browsing an archive before extracting is part of BreeZip’s file workflow. Image Preview is a separate feature for viewing images stored inside an archive.
Compression and password tools
To pack files, select them, choose compression and optionally set a password before saving the archive.
Extraction can unpack a whole archive or just the files you pick, and the app follows the Windows look and feel.
