Mar 14, 2026Not what I expected
I switched to Mr. Zipper because it was free and open-source, but it's been a frustrating experience. It often freezes when extracting large ZIP files, and I've had archives that wouldn't extract, giving vague errors. The interface is easy enough to navigate, but when the core functions are this unreliable, a simple interface isn't much help. For a basic, small ZIP it's fine, but for any real work, it's not dependable enough.

Mar 11, 2026Free and Functional, but Feels a Bit Dated
Mr Zipper gets the job done for basic archiving tasks like creating ZIPs and extracting RAR files without costing a dime, which is great. However, the interface looks very outdated and clunky compared to modern alternatives, and I encountered a few minor glitches when trying to password-protect a 7Z archive. For simple, occasional use, it's perfectly fine, but power users might want something more polished.

Mar 10, 2026A Decent Free Archiver with Some Quirks
Mr Zipper handles the basics well—creating and extracting common ZIP and RAR files is straightforward with its simple interface. However, it occasionally lags or freezes with large files, and the lack of official support makes troubleshooting frustrating when issues arise. It's a solid free option for occasional use, but I wouldn't rely on it for heavy-duty tasks.

Mar 10, 2026Exactly What I Needed - No Frills, No Cost
As someone who frequently needs to compress files for work and extract downloads, Mr Zipper has been a lifesaver. It's incredibly straightforward – I can right-click any folder and zip it instantly, or open any archive format I've encountered without a second thought. The fact that it's completely free and open-source is the cherry on top, removing all the usual nag screens and limitations of other tools. It just works, and that's all I really ask for.

Mar 09, 2026Looks Good at First Glance, But Crumbles Under Pressure
I really wanted to like Mr Zipper for its free and open-source promise, but it's been a frustrating experience. The interface is simple, but it consistently fails to open slightly complex RAR archives that other tools handle instantly, and a corrupted 7Z file it created cost me hours of work. For a core utility that needs to be rock-solid, its unreliability makes it impossible to recommend.

Mar 07, 2026Barely functional and frustrating
I wanted to like Mr Zipper because it's free and open-source, but it's been a headache. The interface is clunky and unintuitive, and it constantly fails to extract multi-part RAR archives that WinRAR handles without issue. For basic tasks, it's okay, but the moment you need something slightly complex, it falls apart.

Mar 06, 2026Does the job, but feels a bit rough around the edges
As a free, open-source tool, Mr Zipper hits the basics—I can create and extract the major archive formats without issue. However, the interface looks dated and can be a bit clunky compared to modern alternatives. For simple tasks it's fine, but I wouldn't rely on it for anything complex.

Feb 27, 2026Looks Good, But Utterly Unreliable
The interface is clean and easy to get started with, but that's where the positives end. It consistently fails to extract multi-part RAR archives that other programs handle without issue, and I've had it corrupt at least two ZIP files during creation. For a tool that manages critical data, this level of unreliability makes it completely unusable, free or not.

Jan 31, 2026A Reliable and Surprisingly Capable Archiver
Mr Zipper has become my go-to tool for managing compressed files. The interface is clean and intuitive, making it easy to create ZIP files or extract downloaded RAR and 7Z archives with just a few clicks. For a free and open-source program, its support for so many formats is impressive, and it has never failed to open an archive I've thrown at it.

Jan 25, 2026Good free option but with some quirks
Mr Zipper gets the job done for basic zip and unzip tasks, and you can't beat the price. The interface feels a bit dated and clunky compared to some commercial alternatives, and I did have it freeze once when handling a very large RAR file. It's a solid choice if you need a simple, free archiver, but don't expect a polished experience.
