FEATURE DESCRIPTION

Quick file compression and extraction with several clicks only

The work with zip files has never been so easy. You have 2 "explorers" on the main window. The first one on the left shows the files and folders on your computer, just like the Windows Explorer does. And the second one on the right shows the files and folders in the opened zip package. To compress files, just select them in the left pane and press the button with the right arrow. To extract files, just select them in the right pane and press the button with left arrow.

Open zip archives on web servers


This COOL feature lets you view and extract the contents of zip packages before starting the download from HTTP servers. Actually you can open zip archives remotely on web sites as if they are local files on your computer. In that way you can save a lot of your time and bandwidth avoiding the download of unnecessary zip files.


Search for files and text in files inside zip packages

This feature lets you search for files and text in all zip packages on your computer. Just enter the text you are looking for, set a few options and BigSpeed Zipper starts searching in lightning speed and shows the results in an easy-to-browse list. Select an entry in the list to view the line of text containing the search string. A right-click menu lets you launch, view or extract the file. You can customize the search parameters with a variety of filters, such as file name, date, and size.

Simultaneous downloading and viewing of zip packages' contents

  There is a built-in downloader that lets you view and extract the contents of the zip package while downloading it. You don't have to wait for the whole 5 MB zip file to be transferred to your hard drive just to see that you don't need it. The downloader can resume interrupted downloads.

Compressed backups to FTP server or disk drive

You can define backup tasks with various parameters and save it for easy later use. All files in the backup set will be automatically compressed to zip packages and will be transferred to remote directory on FTP server or to local directory on any disk drive of your choice.

Automate zip compression operations

The Zip Taskmaster tool lets you automate your routine compression procedures. You can define and save for easy later execution frequently used zip compression operations. You can even create a shortcut on the desktop to run the zip task with a couple of clicks.

Integration with Windows Explorer and Windows shell

  You can perform the most often used operations on files directly in Windows Explorer. Right-click to pop-up the context menu, and choose to zip, unzip, search in, split/join, upload, or E-Mail the selected files.

Upload zip packages to FTP servers

  The built-in FTP client lets you quickly upload a zip package to the desired server and remote directory without launching an external FTP application.

Send zip packages via E-Mail

Use this feature of the built-in E-mail client to send your zip packages as E-Mail attachments and save many extra operations avoiding the external E-Mail tool.

Synchronize the contents of any zip package with the corresponding file folder

If you want to work on files at home or on the road, you can use this feature to help keep the various copies of your files updated.

Create self-extracting packages

Use this command to convert the open zip package to a self-extracting package. Self-extracting packages have an extension of .EXE and can be run as commands. When a self-extracting package is being run, the files in the package are automatically extracted and a predefined program can be launched. This feature is convenient for distribution as a compact .EXE file of large read-only documents or multi-file installation packages.

Split/Join zip package to user defined file size

Use this feature to split/join an existing zip package (or any other file) to smaller files with a size of your choice. This is convenient when a large file must be transferred over a network or stored on many removable disks. When you compress to a new zip package, you have a choice to create multiple volume zip archive, both on removable drive in automatic mode (multiple disk spanning) or to fixed drive with custom volume size.

Repair damaged zip packages

When the zip packages are transferred over Internet, sometimes they become incomplete because of download break. Such a package cannot be used by a traditional zip utility. With this feature you can restore the structure of the zip file and then open it in the usual way. Although some of the files in the package are missing, you can still use the rest of them.
No 4GB file size limit

Virtually unlimited file size in extended Zip8 format, which overcomes the main limitations of the standard PKZIP 2.04g zip format: 4GB maximum file size and 65535 maximum number of files.
