This is the software publisher's description.

ZipGenius is compression software that can archive files withiin several compressed formats. It can create and handle several archive formats, including ZIP, RAR, CAB, ACE, 7-zip, ARC, SQX; also, it can read and decompress CD/DVD images in ISO9660 format (.ISO, .NRG, .CMI).

ZipGenius is also a perfect companion for digital photography amateurs and professionals because it can acquire also pictures from a TWAIN device, like scanners and some old digital camera, and from external drive units, then it can perform one of the following actions. Moreover, ZipGenius allows you to preview pictures in a compressed archive as thumbnails, because the component is fully integrated with Windows shell.

ZipGenius offers advanced data protection systems because it doesn’t rely only upon the default password protection system offered by certain archive types, like zip, but it can make encrypted zip files (CZIP) using the best encryption algorithms available right now: BlowFish, TwoFish and Rijndael (AES). If people needs to share encrypted zip files with other people not using ZipGenius, they can convert standard CZIP files into executable CZIP files, that can decrypt itself so people doesn’t need to install ZipGenius to perform this simple task.

ZipGenius has a completely customisable interface through skins that can change the look of ZipGenius sidebar, icons in the toolbar and the font type and colour of the file list.
