May 09, 2026Frustratingly basic and buggy
I tried Zipeg to open a simple ZIP file and it took an unusually long time to start extracting. The interface feels extremely dated and clunky, lacking even basic options I've come to expect from modern archivers. It also crashed twice on me when attempting to handle a password-protected archive.

May 06, 2026Free but Frustrating
While it's free and supports many formats, Zipeg feels clunky and outdated compared to modern alternatives. Extracting files from a standard ZIP archive took noticeably longer than with 7-Zip or WinRAR, and the interface is unintuitive. For a free tool, it gets the basic job done, but the poor performance and lack of polish make it hard to recommend.

May 04, 2026Too many crashes to be useful
I tried using Zipeg to open a standard ZIP file from a colleague, and it crashed three times before finally extracting the files. Even when it works, the interface feels clunky and outdated compared to other free tools. For a basic archiver, it's just not reliable enough for my needs.

Mar 31, 2026Barely works, crashes more than it extracts
I needed a simple tool to open some ZIP and 7z files, but Zipeg has been a headache. It frequently freezes when extracting large archives, and half the time it fails with generic errors. The interface feels outdated and clunky compared to other free options.

Mar 30, 2026Could be so much better, but ultimately frustrating
Zipeg was my go-to for a while because it's free and handles common formats, but I've had too many issues. It often fails to properly extract large or complex archives, leaving me with corrupted files. The interface feels outdated and clunky compared to modern alternatives, and the lack of any real customer support means you're on your own when something goes wrong.

Mar 29, 2026Frustrating and Unreliable - Time to Move On
I wanted a simple archive tool but Zipeg constantly failed to open larger ZIP files, especially those with passwords. The interface feels outdated and clunky compared to modern alternatives like 7-Zip. It crashed several times while trying to extract multi-part archives, forcing me to re-download everything.

Mar 28, 2026Simple, Free, and Gets the Job Done
Zipeg has been my go-to file extractor for years. It's incredibly lightweight, opens almost any archive format I throw at it, and installs without any bloatware. For a free tool, it's surprisingly reliable and just works without any fuss.

Mar 26, 2026Disappointing performance and frustrating user experience
While Zipeg is free and supports a variety of archive formats, my experience has been consistently frustrating. It often freezes or simply fails to open perfectly valid archives that other, more streamlined tools handle without issue. The interface feels clunky and outdated, and the extraction process is significantly slower than alternatives like 7-Zip or even the built-in Windows compression utilities. For a free tool, it's a decent file viewer, but for any serious or frequent archiving work, it falls short on reliability and performance. I've had it fail on multiple ISO and ZIP files that other tools had no problem with, making it an unreliable choice for important tasks.

Mar 26, 2026Simple, Free, and It Just Works
I've been using Zipeg for years now as my go-to tool for handling archives on Windows. It's incredibly simple to install and use - just a simple right-click and you're extracting or creating compressed files. I appreciate that it supports a wide range of formats like 7z, RAR, and ZIP, which is more than enough for my daily needs. The interface is simple and gets out of your way, and the fact that it's free and open-source makes it a no-brainer over bloated, ad-ridden alternatives.

Mar 25, 2026Reliable and Lightweight Archive Tool
Zipeg has been a massive time-saver for my daily workflow. As someone who frequently receives files in various archive formats, I appreciate that it handles everything from ZIP and 7z to TAR and ISO files with ease. The interface is incredibly simple, clean, and to the point. I've never had an issue extracting any archive, and it's fantastic to know it's completely free and open-source. For a free tool, it handles complex, multi-part archives that other programs sometimes choke on. It's my first and last stop for unzipping or viewing the contents of an archive file.
