Stable, easy to use zip software

Express Zip is everything you need for quickly zipping files for archiving or emailing, and for opening files you download whether they are in zip format or any of the most often used compression formats.

Just download, extract and install the free zip software. A quick splash screen displays with a pop-up window providing options to either open or create an archive.

Extracting compressed files

The nicely organized and efficient layout of the user interface is easy to use. Quick access tools are available as icons on the toolbar to open or extract files, add or remove files and folders, encrypt, email or burn, and an options tab provides for customizing the settings of the various tools.

The help tab enables access to very comprehensive, locally stored help files. Below the toolbar you'll find the file navigation bar and a panel left of the main window displays your selected file. File information for any selected zip file - size and compression ratio, and the number of files included - displays below the main window.

Your extraction options appear under the main window - location input, open output file option and overwriting option buttons.

Quickly create, password protect and email your files

Even novice users of compression software are able to almost immediately use NCH Software's free zip software to prepare their files for fast and secure sharing.

Accessing Create New Archive brings up a window where you select the output location and name your file. This is displayed in the left-hand panel. You use the Options tab to change any defaults and the Add Files tab to select the files to include in your zip file.
