IZArc's huge format support is a lifesaver and the price is right. However, the user interface looks and feels like it's from a decade ago, which sometimes makes simple tasks less intuitive. It's my reliable fallback for weird archive types, but I don't reach for it first for everyday zipping.

IZArc handles every format I throw at it, from old RAR files to disc images, which is fantastic. However, the interface hasn't aged well and feels clunky compared to modern alternatives. It's incredibly powerful for a free tool, but the user experience holds it back from being excellent.

As someone who frequently deals with all sorts of compressed files, IZArc has become my go-to utility. It's remarkably light on system resources and handles everything from opening an old RAR archive to creating a password-protected 7z file without a hitch. The interface is straightforward and clutter-free, making the process intuitive even for casual use. For a completely free and open-source program, it's incredibly powerful and reliable.

As a long-time user of file archivers, I wanted to love IZArc for its open-source nature and format support. However, I've encountered persistent issues with RAR file extraction failing silently, and the interface, while simple, feels outdated and clunky compared to modern alternatives. For a free tool, it gets the job done for basic ZIP files, but anything more complex leads to unreliable performance and a lot of wasted time troubleshooting.

Despite supporting many formats, IZArc constantly freezes or crashes when handling large RAR files. The interface feels outdated and clunky, and the file conversion feature corrupted one of my archives. For a free tool, the reliability issues make it a waste of time.

I've been using IZArc for years to deal with all sorts of compressed files, from common ZIPs to trickier ISO and RAR archives. It's completely free, yet it handles everything I throw at it without a hitch. The interface is straightforward, making tasks like creating a password-protected archive or splitting a large file incredibly easy. For a free tool, its reliability and wide format support are unmatched.

While I appreciate that IZArc is free and supports many formats, I've encountered too many crashes when extracting large RAR files. The interface feels dated and clunky compared to modern alternatives, and the file conversion feature failed on several ISO images I tried. For a tool I need to rely on, it's just not stable enough.

I needed a reliable archiver to deal with a mix of old RARs, ZIPs from work, and some disc images. IZArc has handled every single format without a hiccup. The interface is straightforward and it has all the advanced options I occasionally need, like creating encrypted archives or splitting large files. For free software, it's incredibly powerful and has completely replaced the paid tools I used before.

IZArc handles a lot of formats, which is great, but that's where the positives end for me. The interface feels clunky and outdated, and I've had it crash several times trying to extract large RAR files. For a free tool, it's okay in a pinch, but the reliability issues make it hard to depend on for regular use.
