Bandizip is a free file archiver and compressor for Microsoft Windows, developed by Bandisoft.[4] Key features for Bandizip include the ability to preview archives from the right click context menu, selectively compress files based on high compressibility versus poor compressibility, and create multiple archives from multiple files and folders automatically.

Features
- Supported Input Formats: ZIP, RAR, 7z, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, BZ2, JAR, ISO, EGG, CAB, WIM, Xz, and Z archives[5]
- Support unicode to display international characters which display for filenames in archives
- Files with poor compressibility are merely added to archives without compression when using the High Speed Archiving function.[6]
- Files can be directly extracted to a destination folder, which bypasses a temporary directory, when using the Fast Drag & Drop function. This results in less drive accessing and writing and decreased wait time during extraction.
- Create self-extracting file (.EXE) and multi-volume (split) archives [7]
- Context Menu access to archives from windows explorer
- Encrypt archive using ZipCrypto
- Create or extract multiple zip files simultaneously from windows explorer.
- Archives can be previewed via right click context menu, which is useful for determining whether an archive can be extracted to the current folder or a subfolder.
Limitations
- Does not support LZMA compression and more advanced compression methods.
- Only supports Deflate compression.
- Speed potential of High Speed Archiving is marginal to non-existent.[citation needed]
- Bandizip has less than adequate compression speeds (compared to 7-zip) when using the default normal compression preset, even when using Bandizip's High Speed Archiving function.[citation needed]
