Free unzip utilities?

[IcarusII]

Hi guys,

Im looking for preferably a one stop shop for unzipping archive files. Running W7.

I used to have pk-unzip but the free version seems to be advert packed now.

Anyone have a nice simple programme that unzips most? (particularly .rar)

thanks in advance

Matt

Hello Matt,

The free 9.17 beta version of 7-Zip is a great one to use.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

7-zip, it's what I use...and it's free...not just a free trial.

Another vote for 7-Zip

Though I've never used 7-Zip (use Winzip), I've heard great things about it. So on rep alone, I give it a plus

1+ for 7-zip. GL

7 - zip used here too

7zip is a staple on my systems too for years already
Especially since it usually handles RAR archives without a hitch.

7zip is the way to go.. but get the latest version. If you need something more than that there's the universal extractor ..which combines dozens of different programs, but can only extract files.. it can't create archives

Thanks very much everyone. i would be a fool to go against that wave of advice and thanks for the linky Shawn

You're most welcome Icarus. I'm glad that we could help.

IZarc is another free one that I have seen recommended a lot, so you can't go wrong with either one.
