NanaZip Best Win 11 File Extractor:
YouTube Video "NanaZip Best Win 11 File Extractor"
WinRAR has been such a steadfast part of the Windows experience that its payment model—politely nagging users to buy a license—has become a meme. But after more than 20 years, we have an alternative.
What's Wrong with WinRAR?
WinRAR is packed with great features.
Unfortunately, it has two things working against it.
WinRAR's User Interface Is Stuck in the Past
To WinRAR's credit, it fully integrates with Windows 11's new(ish) right-click context menu, which is way more than can be said for many 30-year-old apps.
However, the rest of the user interface feels extremely dated. Besides a light reskin to vaguely match the aesthetic of Windows 11, the UI has been more or less the same since before smartphones were invented.
That is good if you have the entire interface committed to muscle memory, but WinRAR's menus aren't particularly navigable in the first place.
WinRAR is badly in need of a user interface overhaul to align more with the general design philosophy of apps today and to make it more approachable.
It Isn't Open Source
Open-source apps are free, auditable, and customizable. If they're ever abandoned, someone can pick up the torch and carry on, as has happened many times.
In general, open-source projects are one of the best things about the internet.
Unfortunately, WinRAR—despite its generous, albeit sightly naggy "free" license—isn't open source.
NanaZip Has Replaced WinRAR
NanaZip is an archival program much like WinRAR. You can create, modify, or manipulate popular archival formats like ZIP, 7z, RAR, and countless others.
Since it is a fork of 7-Zip, it has all of 7-Zip's advanced features, too, like the ability to create and manage split archives, which can be handy if you're working with a limited file system like FAT32. We've also used them to move large files on DVDs and CDs that wouldn't ordinarily be able to fit it.
However, the main selling point is the more modern user interface.
Not only is the general look more modern, there are more advanced features buried in the settings menu that you need to sift through to find what you're looking for. More features are directly exposed when you go to create or modify an archive.
How to Install NanaZip
NanaZip is available from multiple sources. GitHub, however, it is also available from SourceForge and the Microsoft Store, but you could also install it using WinGet if you like that.
In general, installing it from the Microsoft Store is probably your best option. That will ensure that the program is automatically kept up to date, and you spare yourself the trouble of remembering to track it down on GitHub to install the latest version every few months.
To install it from the Microsoft Store, open the Microsoft Store, then just search nanazip. Click the first result, then click "Get.
NanaZip isn't very large, only about 13 megabytes, so it shouldn't take very long to download.
Once it is done, you should see it available in your right-click context menu when you right-click a file or folder. If it doesn't, just restart your PC or File Explorer—it'll appear.
What Does WinRAR Offer That NanaZip Doesn't?
Despite all of NanaZip's many redeeming qualities, it does lack two important features.
Most importantly, it can't be used to create RAR files, since RARs are a proprietary standard. If you don't need them for something specific, that probably isn't a big deal.
The second big thing it is missing is related to a property of RAR files themselves: a recovery record. Modern RAR files can generate a recovery record when you generate them, which may allow you to recover the contents of a partially-corrupted RAR file.
It is hardly a dealbreaker that most other common archival formats don't support it, but it does impact my decision-making when compressing files for long-term storage. If you store something compressed, you should always opt for RAR simply for the recovery record option.
