ZArchiver

Archive management on Android

ZArchiver is a file archiving tool for Android. It suits users who need to open, create, inspect, or update compressed files without switching between several utilities. The app is developed by ZDevs and is listed in the Tools category.

Create and extract common formats

ZArchiver can create archives in formats including 7z, zip, tar, gzip, bzip2, XZ, lz4, and zstd. It can extract and browse a wider range of archive types, including rar, rar5, iso, cab, deb, rpm, dmg, wim, cpio, and split archive sets. This makes it useful for both everyday file sharing and less common package formats.

• Create password-protected archives and open protected archives when the password is available.
• Extract only selected files instead of unpacking an entire archive.
• Open compressed files and view archive contents before extracting them.
• Work with multi-part archives such as 7z, zip, and rar sets.

Manage files inside archives

The app can add or remove files in supported zip, 7z, tar, apk, and mtz archives. It also supports opening archive files from mail applications and can install APK or OBB files from an archived application backup. These options are aimed at users who regularly organize stored files, manage backups, or handle packages outside a basic file browser.

Usage and reception

ZArchiver has a 4.13 rating from more than 1.4 million reviews and has recorded 100,000,000+ installs. Its interface is focused on file selection and archive actions, while the app states that it does not have internet access for sending information to other services or people.
