IZarc facts for kids
IZArc is a computer program for Microsoft Windows that helps you manage your files. It's like a special tool that can "squish" many files and folders into one smaller file. This smaller file is called an archive. IZArc can also open these squished files, even if they were made by other programs.
It was created by a programmer from Bulgaria named Ivan Zahariev. IZArc is completely free to use, which means you don't have to pay for it. It works with many different types of archive files, like ZIP, RAR, and 7-Zip. In total, it can open 48 different kinds of archive files!
IZArc also works well with Windows Explorer, which is the file manager on your computer. It can even help you check files for viruses and change CD image files.
What IZArc Can Open
IZArc is very good at opening many different types of compressed files. Think of these files as digital boxes that hold other files. IZArc can open almost any box you find!
Some of the common file types it can open include:
It also supports many other types, like ARC, ARJ, BIN, ISO, JAR, LHA, NRG, and RPM. This means you can usually open any archive file you download or get from a friend using IZArc.
IZArc2Go: The Portable Version
IZArc also has a special version called IZArc2Go. This version is a portable application. This means you can carry it around on a USB flash drive (like a memory stick) and use it on any computer without installing it.
IZArc2Go has almost all the same features as the regular IZArc program. However, it doesn't add options to your Windows right-click menu, and you can't set it as the default program to open certain file types. It's perfect if you need to open archive files on a computer that isn't yours.
