Features in practice

The feature list describes the available tools. These examples explain how they support a practical workflow, what to review and where the limits matter.

Package files for sharing

Choose a supported archive format, compression level and metadata exclusions to prepare a portable copy of your files. ZIP password protection is available when the recipient uses a compatible AES-capable reader.

Inspect before unpacking

Browse paths and sizes, preview supported regular files and extract selected entries when you do not need the entire archive. New output folders help keep existing files separate.

Check archive integrity

Read verification and corruption results rather than relying only on an archive opening successfully. Compare archives or inspect duplicate members before deciding which copy to retain.

Handle repeated jobs

Use presets, the batch queue and recorded outcomes for recurring work. Splitting and reassembly use byte-split parts and checksums; they are not interchangeable with every multipart archive format.

Use the compatibility, access and limitation information on this page when choosing a workflow. Sample screenshots illustrate the app; their records and measured results are not a scan of your own Mac.
