Need a free archiver that opens RAR, ISO and 7z files as well as ZIP? CoffeeZip is built on 7-Zip's LZMA engine, creates ZIP, 7z, TAR and WIM archives, and adds right-click shortcuts in Windows Explorer for packing and unpacking.
ZIP creation from the toolbar
The upper toolbar provides access to CoffeeZip’s main controls. To create an archive, select the files to include and choose a compression option. That workflow suits jobs such as bundling documents or images into a ZIP for storage or sharing.
The compression choice lets you match the archive settings to the task. New archives can be ZIP, 7z, TAR or WIM, with 7z giving the strongest compression.
How do you inspect and extract an archive?
Right-click an archive to see its files and folders. Besides ZIP, CoffeeZip opens RAR, 7z, ISO, CAB, ARJ, LZH, DMG, WIM and other formats. From there, extract items to a directory on the computer. This lets you unpack a whole archive or choose particular contents without first extracting everything.
- Use the context menu to view a ZIP’s contents.
- Choose files or folders to extract and select a destination directory.
Progress during compression and extraction
CoffeeZip displays an estimate of the time remaining while an operation runs. That progress information applies to its compression and extraction tasks, so users can see that work is still underway when processing an archive.
