What it is
A Japanese archiver from CubeSoft. It handles zip, 7z, rar and lzh, and its strength is the lzh format that was widely used in Japan. The right-click menu is simple, there are no ads, and it is free for personal and business use.
When to pick this
If you handle archives made in Japan, particularly lzh. Otherwise 7-Zip or Bandizip cover the same ground.
Details
lzh support
Opens the lzh format that was common in Japan into the 2000s. Older Japanese material still turns up in it.
No ads
The free build shows no advertising and bundles no extra software.
Filename handling
Extracts archives containing Japanese filenames with the correct character encoding.
After a reformat
Check the installer’s extra offers
The setup may ask whether to install other software alongside. Untick what you do not need.
File associations and character encoding
Pick the formats to associate in settings. If you often handle archives whose Japanese or Korean file names come out garbled, turn on automatic encoding detection.
