A free file archiver and compression utility which supports many popular and rare formats.
You might be so inclined to spend a few bucks on a program like WinZip or WinRAR, but there are also free alternatives of which Zipeg is one.
Zipeg is able to compress and decompress the vast majority of used compression formats like ZIP and RAR, but also supports some of the less-known compression formats you might find online like ARJ or ISO images.
One of the cool things about Zipeg is the preview of images before you decompress the archive. This is useful for only decompressing certain files from your archives on demand.
Zipeg is an excellent alternative to the shareware programs we all grew up with.
