ZArchiver is a utility app designed for Android that focuses on archive and file management. If you often deal with compressed files, large data sets, or simply need a reliable tool to organise your device’s storage, ZArchiver is one of the top choices available.
About ZArchiver
This app falls under the “file management / archive” category. It allows you to compress, decompress and manage a variety of archive formats directly on your mobile device. You can create archives in formats like ZIP, 7z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2 and XZ, and also extract files from formats including ZIP, RAR, ISO, TAR and many more. One standout capability is viewing the contents of an archive before fully extracting it — which helps save time and storage space. The app also supports password-protected archives and lets users add or remove files within an archive without needing to unpack and repack the whole thing. Because it’s lean and efficient, it works smoothly even on older or lower-spec Android devices.
