However, you'll need an active subscription to:

You'll need an active subscription to install the app, but once installed, you can cancel anytime.
By default, the app checks for updates when it starts and will notify you if a new version is available. You can:
- Allow update checks on startup (default)
- Disable update checks in settings
- Manually check for updates anytime via "Help > Check for updates..."
When a new version is available, you'll need to download and install it manually. Note that installing newer versions requires an active subscription.
Yes! ezyZip Archive Extractor allows you to:
- Browse the full contents of any archive
- Preview common file types (text, images, PDFs, etc.) without extraction
- Extract individual files selectively
- Extract the entire archive with a single click
This makes it easy to verify contents before extraction or to grab just the files you need.
Yes! ezyZip Archive Extractor fully supports multipart/split archives, including:
- Traditional split archives (.001, .002, etc.)
- RAR multipart archives (.part1.rar, .part2.rar, etc.)
- ZIP split files (.z01, .z02, etc.)
- Modern ZIP multipart archives (.zip.001, .zip.002, etc.)
Simply open the first file in the sequence (e.g., .001 or .part1.rar), and the app will automatically detect and use all parts to extract the complete archive. All parts must be in the same folder.
Yes! When viewing an archive's contents, any nested archive files will show an "Open" button. Click it to extract and open the nested archive in a new window. You can have multiple archive windows open simultaneously.
This makes it easy to work with software bundles, nested backups, and multi-layer compressed data without manual extraction steps.
Absolutely! Use the multi-file selection to choose multiple archives. Their contents will be merged into a single combined listing. If files have the same name, they're automatically renamed (file.txt becomes file_2.txt). You can then save everything to one folder.
This works with any combination of supported formats - you can merge ZIP + RAR + 7Z files in a single operation.
ezyZip will scan the folder (including subfolders) and automatically find all archive files. Non-archive files like images, documents, and videos are silently skipped. All discovered archives are merged into one combined listing.
This is perfect for processing download folders, backup directories, or photo import folders.
For performance reasons, folder scanning processes up to 1,000 files. If your folder contains more files, consider selecting specific subfolders or using multi-file selection to choose archives individually.
No problem! When processing multiple archives, ezyZip will prompt you for each password-protected archive individually. The archive name is displayed so you know which password to enter.
