Note: Password protection and multi-volume splitting are currently available for ZIP and 7Z formats only.
Password protection is available for ZIP and 7Z formats and uses industry-standard AES-256 encryption:
- ZIP: Uses AES-256 encryption with secure password-based encryption
- 7Z: Uses AES-256 encryption with additional security features
- Passwords are never stored - only you know the password
- Both file contents and file names can be encrypted (7Z format)
- Compatible with all major archive tools that support encrypted archives
Important: Make sure to remember your password - there's no way to recover encrypted archives without it!
Multi-volume splitting allows you to break large archives into smaller, manageable pieces:
- Split archives to fit on CDs, DVDs, or USB drives
- Easier to transfer large archives over email or cloud storage
- Custom size limits (e.g., 100MB, 700MB, 4.7GB)
- All parts needed to extract the complete archive
- Works with both ZIP and 7Z formats
- Can be combined with password protection
Example: A 10GB archive can be split into 10 files of 1GB each, making it easier to store or transfer.
