Hamster Zip Archiver is a lightweight program for Windows that simplifies archive management. Users can handle packages in multiple formats, compact folders and extract only necessary components.
How it works
There is a drag-and-drop interface that makes it easy to add files directly into the compression window. Once uploaded, the app automatically suggests formats and optimal settings, eliminating the need for manual configuration. In other words, users can process the content with just a few clicks, reducing time spent navigating menus.
Not only are you able to save files on your local drives and also upload them directly to cloud storage services. The tool integrates with Dropbox, Google Drive, and OneDrive, allowing you to transfer archives immediately after compression. Before sharing, you can also set passwords with unique combinations, for additional security.
Levels
What is more, the software provides multiple compression level settings, meaning you may balance between file size and speed. There is an option to both prioritize maximum squeeze for storage or perform quicker processing for speed. Advanced users can fine-tune ratios for specific tasks, like media backups or document packaging.
