A very helpful feature of Bandizip is its context menu integration. This means that it can integrate various entries into the context menu of Windows Explorer.

While you can split archives into several volumes with Bandizip, you can also encrypt archives through password protection. Any number of files can be added to a new archive, provided you stay within the size limit. Further, you can go for compressing every file into a different archive. When the task is over, you can use the software to delete source files. Another advanced feature of Bandizip is the use of Unicode file names in TGZ, TAR, and ZIP formats while editing the contents of an archive.

Bandizip is one of the fastest compression and archiving tools that can give you extensive file format support. With several unique archiving features, it is a tough competition for other popular paid programs.
