Mar 27, 2026Simple, Free, and Surprisingly Powerful Archiver
I've been using NX Free Zip Archiver for a few months for both opening downloaded files and creating my own archives. It just works. I was able to open a weird, old RAR file from a client, and my 7z and ZIP creation has been flawless. The interface is clean and doesn't get in the way, and it's great that it just handles so many formats without a fuss. It's a solid, no-nonsense piece of free software. The encryption options for ZIPs are a nice plus for sending sensitive documents.

Mar 25, 2026Buggy and frustrating - wouldn't recommend
While it's nice that NX Free is open source and supports many formats, it's been incredibly unreliable for me. It failed to extract several RAR archives that other free tools handled without issue, and when creating ZIP files, the compression seemed slower than expected. The interface might look intuitive, but crashes during larger operations made it unusable for my needs.

Mar 25, 2026A solid free alternative that handles all my archive needs
I've been using NX Free Zip Archiver for a few months now to manage backups and share project files. It opens every format I've thrown at it, including RAR files from colleagues, without any hassle. The interface is clean and straightforward, making compression and encryption simple. For a free, open-source tool, it's remarkably capable and has completely replaced my old paid software.

I've been using NX Free Zip Archiver for a few months now for my home computer, and it handles everything I throw at it. I love that it can handle ZIP, RAR, and even 7z files with no fuss. The interface is clean and I haven't had a single corrupted archive since I switched to it. It's a no-nonsense tool that simply gets the job done without any bloat.

Mar 24, 2026A genuinely free and capable archive tool
I've been using NX Free Zip Archiver for a few months now for both personal and light work tasks, and it's been great. The interface is clean and intuitive—I can zip files, extract RARs, and even open ISO images without confusion. It handles all the common formats I need, and the fact that it's truly free and open source without any ads or nagging is a huge plus. It's become my go-to archiver on Windows.

Mar 22, 2026Promises but doesn't deliver - unreliable and frustrating
While the interface is indeed simple, NX Free Zip Archiver failed at the most basic tasks. It crashed twice while attempting to extract a standard 7z archive, and when it did work, it was painfully slow. I've tried alternative software since and there is a clear difference in stability and performance.

Mar 21, 2026A Lightweight and Reliable Archiving Tool
NX Free Zip Archiver has become my go-to tool for handling compressed files. It seamlessly opens all the common formats I encounter, like ZIP, RAR, and 7Z, without the bloatware or nags found in other free tools. The interface is clean and easy to navigate, making it perfect for both quick extractions and creating password-protected archives with encryption. For a free, open-source tool, it offers a perfect blend of essential features and simplicity.

Mar 13, 2026Barely Functional and Buggy - Would Not Recommend
Despite the promising description, NX Free Zip Archiver has been a frustrating experience. It frequently crashes when extracting RAR files, and the encryption option failed on my last attempt, leaving the archive corrupted. The interface feels clunky and unresponsive compared to other free alternatives I've used before.
