Show full descriptionShow less

ZArchiver - is a program for archive management (including managing of application backups in archives). You can managment backup of application. It has a simple and functional interface. The app doesn't have permission to access the internet, so cannot transmit any information to other services or persons.

ZArchiver lets you:

- Create the following archive types: 7z (7zip), zip, bzip2 (bz2), gzip (gz), XZ, lz4, tar, zst (zstd);
- Decompress the following archive types: 7z (7zip), zip, rar, rar5, bzip2, gzip, XZ, iso, tar, arj, cab, lzh, lha, lzma, xar, tgz, tbz, Z, deb, rpm, zipx, mtz, chm, dmg, cpio, cramfs, img (fat, ntfs, ubf), wim, ecm, lzip, zst (zstd), egg, alz;
- View archive contents: 7z (7zip), zip, rar, rar5, bzip2, gzip, XZ, iso, tar, arj, cab, lzh, lha, lzma, xar, tgz, tbz, Z, deb, rpm, zipx, mtz, chm, dmg, cpio, cramfs, img (fat, ntfs, ubf), wim, ecm, lzip, zst (zstd), egg, alz;
- Create and decompress password-protected archives;
- Edit archives: add/remove files to/from the archive (zip, 7zip, tar, apk, mtz);
- Create and decompress multi-part archives: 7z, rar (decompress only);
- Install APK and OBB file from backup (archive);
- Partial archive decompression;
- Open compressed files;
- Open an archive file from mail applications;
- Extract split archives: 7z, zip and rar (7z.001, zip.001, part1.rar, z01);

Particular properties:
- Start with Android 9 for small files (<10MB). If possible, use direct opening without extracting to a temporary folder;
- Multithreading support (useful for multicore processors);
- UTF-8/UTF-16 support for filenames allows you to use national symbols in filenames.

ATTENTION! Any useful ideas or wishes are welcome. You can send them by email or just leave a comment here.

    ZArchiver has become extremely frustrating lately. Almost every file operation—copy, move, cut, compress, and test—randomly freezes at different percentages and never finishes. Even after reopening the app, the stuck progress operation remains until I force-stop ZArchiver. Shizuku is enabled, so there may be an issue with the Shizuku integration or background file operations. Please investigate and fix this.

    Been using the app for a while now, and everything works perfect until recently... I'm using IQOO Neo 10 but after updating to origin OS, the app is bugging i believe. The problem i encounter is the progress bar when i'm unzipping file didn't increase, i tried to wait for a while but the progress bar still isn't increasing even after the process completed (yes despite the progress bar didn't increase, the transfer process still running). I hope you guys could fix the problem. thank you

    I have three phones running Android 9, 10, and 13. ZArchiver worked perfectly for years, but after recent updates all three phones started freezing, overheating, becoming unresponsive, and apps wouldn't even launch. On the advice of one phone manufacturer, I uninstalled ZArchiver from two phones. Both immediately returned to normal. While I kept it on the third phone for comparison, however the issue remains. So, I will give 1 ☆ till you resolve your App issues!

    This app is good, though i had an issue, whenever I try to type on the zarchiver text more than how many times, it just stops working. It sometimes sends me to the beginning of the text, it pastes whatever I copied in my clipboard for no reason, and a bunch of others I can't describe. I mostly make my own mods to some games like spaceflight simulator so please fix this!

    I don't know if this is a problem with my device, but I never had this problem before. Pretty much, whenever I extract/delete a file, it gets stuck at a certain percentage. So I have no choice but to go and abort it. But after aborting it, I find that the file does get deleted/extracted. The thing is, I'm not sure if it was actually completed since it got stuck at a certain percentage. The files I usually extract also have a lot of files inside them, so I can't really individually check them.

    used to be great, not anymore with the "access denied" basically you're forced to root your device to be able to access "most" some can't still be accessed. Rooting your device is generally not ideal. welp this sucks I guess. Edit: I also forgot to say, even if you even get access to see the files, you can't even touch your stuff. Basically all you can do is look at the files.
  7. ★★★★★ Fazar Yamaha · 9 Jul 2025
    This app is very good for various types of encryptions set. Very easy to use. It supports almost all types of file formats i ever know. It's way better than other ordinary file manager app. One problem i noticed yet is, this app does not support USB drive and inserted SD card togather. If i connect the USB to the phone, it doesn't show the SD card. It only shows internal storage and usb. And while not usb is there, it shows internal storage and SD card. Developers please fix this problem.

    It's a great tool for decompressing zips. It's free and has no ads. I've been using it for a long time, however I put 3 starts to it because even if I have my phone rooted, the permission given to the app, and even with the root section activated in the app, the app doesn't allow me to copy files from the root path anyway! It displays: "operation completed with errors". I tried mixplorer with root and everything was alright. Good app but with bugs.
  9. ★★★★★ Uniz Tux · 18 Nov 2024 · v1.0.10
    the only file manager / zip folder compressor,extractor I've ever had to use. Im constantly having to work with 7z,RAR files etc and this is the best hands down. lightweight,no ads, FREE and it even has a text editor/ viewer/ notepad included . I wish all android devices should come with this software as the default app for these tasks. Great job to the developers! I will donate to ur cause keep up the good work😁
  10. ★★★☆☆ Gustavoh · 17 May 2024 · v1.0.9
    For a while it was my favorite, but recently, the app seems to have gotten worse, my phone is on Android 14 and it won't let me access the data folder, the canceling or extracting operation is also very broken, it takes a long time, and sometimes there are extraction errors, as well as copying and pasting, for no reason at all, solve this, the app was already good, the update made it slower and buggy !!
