There are many file compression applications you can download for free online. Their functions are very common – they can read almost every archiving format available and they can decompress the files with little to no effort from the user. Some could even compress files and folders into different archiving formats preferred by users.

Zipeg could be mistaken as one of the common archiving tools. It’s a very lightweight application that could be used in an instant. But after a few minutes of working with the application, you’ll realize that Zipeg is a very different file compression tool.

There are two key features that users could enjoy in the application. The first feature is the thumbnail functionality of the files inside the compressed folder. This is very useful for photos since they will be presented in thumbnails. The second feature is its ability to decompress select files. Normally, file compression and decompression tools will automatically extract all files in a targeted location preferred by user. But Zipeg allow users to select the files they want to extract from the compressed folder. You can even hover your mouse over the file and you’ll be provided with additional information about the file in the compressed folder.

When it comes to the application’s interface, anyone who has used various compression tools could immediately work with Zipeg. It comes with file navigation tool on the left side of the application so that users can easily locate the compressed folder. Since it can read major compression formats, the application can detect the compressed folder and let the user see the contents of the folder without extraction.
