ZIPmagic does two things, and does them both really well.

First, competing with the likes of WinZip and WinRAR, ZIPmagic deploys its unique shell namespace extension technology to help you browse 100+ archive types as ordinary folders in Windows File Explorer. It doesn’t get any easier! This is just like what Windows itself already does for ZIP and CAB files, but for 100+ archive types. Thanks to ZIPmagic’s plug-in extensibility, this number is constantly growing! You get bells-and-whistles which you will not find with Windows’s built-in support, including:

• Lightning speed (try browsing archives with tens of thousands of files with Windows - it’ll be super slow and crash Explorer).
• Automatic extraction of files inside compressed folders when you double-click them. They will then be launched with their associated applications, such as Word for .DOC(X) files. It doesn’t stop there - when you save your changes to these files, ZIPmagic will ask you and update the compressed folder instantly!
• Use all your Windows File Explorer habits such as copy&paste, drag&drop - files will be automatically compressed and extracted, from/to compressed folders and real file system folders.

Then, you get some extras which WinZip charges you and WinRAR doesn’t even have - for free:

• Free Outlook integration for automatic email attachment compression.
• Free Outlook compressed attachment previewer - this is also secure and blocks potentially risky attachments - so you don’t have to launch an external archive program to launch files inside your compressed attachments.
• Free self-extractor creation.

ZIPmagic’s file compression technology is based on industry’s best, open-source 7-Zip; also including 100% WinZip compatible ZIPX support - which gives you advanced JPEG compression!

Here’s a few other unique benefits you get:

• Recursive Extract processes any archive and extracts any further archives it contains, together with any further archives they contain - until there’s no more archives left to extract.
• Smart Extract to Subfolders eliminates creating redundant top-level folders if all your archive data is already inside one master folder.
• Find Smallest Archive runs your compression jobs against all archive types supported by your installed plug-ins, reporting on final compression gains with each unique type.
• Parallel SSD Extraction detects when you’re running on flash drives and extracts multiple archives simultaneously, maxing out your CPU and getting the job done in a fraction of the time.

Remember we said ZIPmagic does two things and does them really well? Here’s the second one, and its something you won’t find in any other tool: Its an invention that’s protected by U.S. Patent 10,911,065 - helping you transparently compress your entire disk, and using it as if it was uncompressed!

Far from manually creating archive files such as ZIP and RAR (and having to manually extract them later), this transparent compression doesn’t get in your way at all! All you notice is more disk space.

You are guaranteed to gain at least 5 GB of free disk space without deleting a single file - this is how much space you get compressing the raw Windows operating system! The more apps and data you have on your disk, the more free disk space you gain. Ideal for non-upgradeable devices such as Surface tablets, desktops, and laptops.

Run ZIPmagic DriveSpace to quickly compress your disk, while Windows (and your apps) are still up and running. If you can afford a reboot, run ZIPmagic DoubleSpace to pack all your apps and data as tightly as possible.

Any way you look at it - whether for file compression, or for transparent disk compression - ZIPmagic is a terrific bargain, a unique product, a jewel in the wild! Get it today and enjoy.
