NanaZip Is the Only File Archive Manager You’ll Ever Need on Windows
1 min read
Summary
NanaZip is a free, open-source archive manager for Windows, based on the popular 7-Zip app, supporting a vast range of formats with better compression ratios.
It provides two distribution options: a modern 64-bit version and a legacy-compatible Classic version for older Windows systems and is available on the Microsoft Store for hassle-free installation and updates.
It features seamless integration with File Explorer in Windows 10 and 11 and uses the same optimised algorithms as 7-Zip for fast compression and extraction.
It supports advanced compression formats like Brotli and Zstandard, as well as read-only formats such as .NET bundles, Electron ASAR, and WebAssembly (WASM).
It offers enhanced security features like Control Flow Guard (CFG) and CET Shadow Stack to protect against exploits and runtime attacks and allows users to create self-extracting archives that recipients can open without having NanaZip installed.
For normal users, Windows’ built-in options may be sufficient, but those needing power and flexibility will find NanaZip far superior.
