Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: NanaZip integrates seamlessly with Windows 11 and is praised for its modern GUI, including dark mode, and improved context menu integration. Users appreciate its open-source nature and easy updates through the Microsoft Store. Many comments highlight its similarities to 7-Zip but with added features and better aesthetics. However, some users criticize the small font size and find the developer's approach off-putting, particularly regarding UI sponsorships.

a less teribble looking 7zip

Nice looking but more or less just a wrapper around 7-zip. Despite being a simple wrapper with some convenience features, the author acts like he's gods gift to file compression, and slaps a large sponsor button, ruining the ui, that can't be disabled, and becomes larger and uglier upon paying a ridiculous $99. Developer is self-righteous and very frustrating to deal with, and has a history of suppressing feedback and issues on the GitHub page.

It's a fork of 7zip, updated with a more modern GUI (including dark theme), smart extraction options (automatic folder creation/elimination to always create exactly 1 new file/folder in the current path, and without double subfolder), and possibly under the hood improvements. Basically 7zip with updated UX and bandizip without the nag screens.

Fonts are waaaay too small... it's barely useable. I hope dev will fix this.

What is NanaZip?

Modern UI NanaZip supports the new Windows 11 context menu and adopts the Fluent Design System, using the Mica material and adding dark mode support. NanaZip supports Windows accessibility features and meets Section 508 compliance standards.

Smart Extraction Smart Extraction saves you clicks for archives with a single root item, and keeps your files organized for those with multiple root items. In addition, you can configure NanaZip to start Smart Extraction upon opening an archive, instead of opening NanaZip File Manager.

File formats NanaZip supports additional file formats on top of 7-zip, such as Zstandard, WASM, Electron ASAR, and .NET Single File Bundle.

Security NanaZip integrates multiple security mitigations to reduce the impact of vulnerabilities. These mitigations are enabled by default and configurable using Group Policy.
