NanaZip
NanaZip is a free, open-source file archiver derived from 7-Zip and built for Windows. Its modern MSIX version connects with File Explorer context menus and file associations, while the interface supports Windows 11 context menus, Fluent Design, Mica material, and dark mode. Smart Extraction treats archives with one root item differently from those with several root items to keep extracted files organized. The maker lists formats and codecs including Zstandard, WASM, Electron ASAR, .NET Single File bundles, Brotli, and LZ4. Additional hashes include SHA-256, SHA-512, BLAKE2b, and XXH3. Command-line tools and a 7-Zip execution alias are included. Listed protections include package integrity checks, Control Flow Guard, Shadow Stack compatibility, limits on dynamic code generation, and blocking unexpected remote libraries. It supports Windows 10 version 2004 or later and Windows Server 2022 or later on x64 and ARM64.
