Password Zip vs ZipChest

Password Zip helps you create, open, and share protected files on iPhone and iPad. Use it when you need to send mortgage documents, tax records, legal forms, work files, client attachments, or personal paperwork in a password-protected zip. Password Zip can generate strong passwords for your encrypted zip files, save them in your private iCloud-synced vault, and make them available across your devices when you need to open the archive again. That means you can use stronger zip passwords without relying on memory, notes, screenshots, or repeated weak passwords. What you can do with Password Zip: • Create password-protected zip files • Use AES-256 encryption for protected zip files by default • Save up to 10 ZIP passwords from this device in your private iCloud Vault • Reuse saved passwords when opening matching zip files • Zip and unzip files from Files, Share Sheet, and other apps • Open zip, 7z, tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, and xz archives • Preview the contents of zip files before extraction • Get warned before sharing a zip file and its password through the same channel • Convert HEIC/HEIF images to JPEG copies for easier cross-platform sharing • Import photos and videos for free Password Zip is built for practical file security: strong passwords, safer sharing habits, and a clean workflow for everyday sensitive documents. Password Zip Pro (one-time purchase, no subscription) adds faster workflows and extra privacy tools: • Shortcuts actions for creating zip files and unzipping archives • Bulk unzip workflows • Unlimited Vault entries, access to entries from your other devices, search and tags • Longer generated passwords, up to 64 characters • App lock with Face ID, Touch ID, or PIN • Scan documents and take photos • Save one file from a zip preview without extracting the whole archive • Pull one file from an existing zip into a new zip Whether you are sending documents to a lender, sharing sensitive attachments with a client, organizing records, or protecting personal files, Password Zip gives you a practical iOS workflow for safer compressed files.

Got an archive you can't open? ZipChest opens it in one tap. ZipChest is a clean archive tool, and **every feature is open to everyone**. Unzip as much as you like — unlimited files, unlimited size, encrypted archives included, files on iCloud or any mounted cloud drive included. Packing, encrypting and choosing a format work the same way. No subscription, no countdown timers, no "you've used your two tries". UNZIP - Opens zip (including password-protected and ZIP64 archives), 7z (including AES-256 encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, and iso disc images - Legacy non-UTF-8 file names decode correctly - Open archives right from Files, Mail, or any app's share sheet - Browse before extracting: see the file tree and sizes, tap any file for an instant preview - Extract everything with one tap, or select just the entries you need - Extract next to the archive, or pick any destination — including cloud drives mounted in Files - Live progress with cancel; malicious paths are blocked and cancelled jobs leave no half-written files PACK - Select files and folders, pack them into a zip — no limit on how many - **AES-256 encrypted zips** — password-protect contracts and photo packs - **7z output** - **Compression level 1–9** - All of the above are included. No purchase required. ABOUT ADS ZipChest is funded by a single banner at the bottom of the screen. If it gets in your way, the "Remove Ads" purchase takes it away for good — **it does not unlock any features, because every feature is already available**. Restore Purchases brings it back on a new device. PRIVACY Compression, extraction and encryption all happen on your device; your files are never uploaded to any server, and passwords live in memory only and are never stored. The app works normally in airplane mode — **only the banner at the bottom needs a connection**. ZipChest does not track you and never shows the "Allow tracking" prompt. Supported formats (this version): zip (plain/encrypted/ZIP64), 7z (plain/encrypted), tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz, gz, bz2, xz, iso. More formats are on the way.
