## What is Zip&Rar?

Open any archive on your iPhone — ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR and more — and reach the files inside in seconds. Create your own password-protected ZIPs, and keep what you extract locked behind Face ID.

Everything happens on your device. Your files are never uploaded to a server.

OPEN ALMOST ANYTHING
• ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZ, BZ2, XZ, TGZ and other common archive formats
• Password-protected ZIP and RAR files
• See what is inside before you extract anything
• Play music and video from your archives without leaving the app
• Photos, documents and text files open right where you are

CREATE ARCHIVES
• Combine files, photos and videos into a single ZIP
• Protect it with a password
• Choose your compression quality — keep originals, or shrink photos to save space
• Name the archive whatever you want

PRIVACY BUILT IN
• Face ID / Touch ID lock for the whole app
• Lock individual files so only you can open them
• Extraction happens on device — nothing leaves your iPhone

WORKS WHERE YOU ALREADY WORK
• Shows up in the Files app as its own location
• Share sheet support: send a file, photo or video from Mail, Safari, Photos or any other app
• Compress photos and videos from the Photos app in a couple of taps
• Reach iCloud Drive, Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive and Box through the Files picker

NO STORAGE CLUTTER
Extracted files pile up in every archive app and quietly eat gigabytes. This one cleans up after itself: pick 7, 14, 30 or 90 days and old extracted files are removed automatically. You can also clear the cache by hand whenever you like, and see exactly how much space it frees.

WHATSAPP CHAT EXPORTS
Export a chat from WhatsApp, open the ZIP here, and read it as a conversation — messages laid out the way you remember them, with photos and attachments in place.

PRO — ONE-TIME PURCHASE
• Password protection for the archives you create
• Face ID / Touch ID file lock
• Compression quality options
• Unlimited file viewing

No subscription. Pay once, keep it.

### 1/5 — Won’t Unzip

*2019-04-29*

I got it simply to unzip a file, it doesn’t unzip files. Thanks but no good

### 5/5 — Works as expected

*2018-02-27*

I can import a zip file from an email message to this application and view the content. Also I can pick from my photos or my files in the cloud like Box and Dropbox and share them as zip files. And to do this I don't even need to install other cloud applications.

### 5/5 — İhtiyacı fazlasıyla karşılıyor

*2018-02-27, version 1.0*

E-posta içindeki bir zip dosyasını kolaylıkla bu uygulamaya aktarıp içeriğini inceleyebiliyor, fotoğraf albümünden seçtiğim resimleri, buluttan seçtiğim dosyalarımı zip dosyası halinde sıkıştırıp yine E-posta ile paylaşabiliyorum.
