Powerful and comprehensive file archiver.

IZArc (pronounced 'Easy Arc') is an extremely comprehensive file archiver with support for absolute dozens of different formats including ZIP files, 7-Zip files and RAR archives.

If you're not already aware of what a file archiver it, it is basically a compressed version of one or more files combined into one file which is easily shared via a range of different media. By installing IZArc, you'll be able to both create archives and decompress them.

The program is actually really easy to use and once installed, takes little time to get the hang of it. One thing to note about IZArc is that you're not going to have to actually run the main program in order to decompress or compress files: It is completely integrated with the Windows Explorer and is accessible via the right-click button.

IZArc offers users the ability to create EXE archives, which makes it possible to share the files with people who don't have a suitable file archiver installed.

Overall, IZArc is easy-to-use and integrates perfectly with the Windows Explorer interface which makes it both handy and useful.
