IZArc2Go is a portable version of the IZArc compressor that helps to compress and decompress files with ease.

Compressed archives have been in use for a long time because they are effective at sharing data online. They take up less space than working with multiple files and a compressed archive can contain an array of both files and folders.

IZArc2Go is a portable version of the compressor that is being used across the Internet –IZArc. What’s unique about this program is that it does not have to be installed on the computer to run. It can be run even from a USB drive, making it possible to take it on the go to be able to open compressed archives from anywhere. Files can be dragged and dropped from the interface or an archive opened using the top menu.

There are various features involved with IZArc2Go. This includes: multivolume sets, encryption, virus scanning, and the ability to create an EXE file that will extract all compressed files by double-clicking on the icon.

Using the portable version has a variety of advantages. Since there is no installation, there are no traces on the system. The downside to this is that it cannot be integrated into Windows Explorer. This means that it can be time-consuming to open certain archives. It also cannot associate with certain file types, which means that you may need another compressor application to run these.

When you use IZArc2Go, you will be able to work with a variety of formats. This includes ZIP, RAR, ACE and many others. The program has been thoroughly tested and works with a variety of compression formats and algorithms. This means that for the majority of what you need, this program will be able to open almost any file type.

IZArc2Go is a powerful compression utility and has various tools that can help you with the files that you work with on a regular basis. Especially when you are in the habit of sharing data online, you need a way to open up all the files and folders that have been sent to you. Whether you use the file on the computer or you choose to keep it in a portable format on your USB drive, the program is going to work the same.

Recent changes to the program have provided more benefits. A DOS path separator has been used as opposed to a UNIX one and files are handled more effectively when there are certain characters within the name.

When you work with unzipping tools and you need to extract compressed data, IZArc2Go is worth the download. It is free, so you can begin experiencing the benefits without spending any money. The added benefits can also help you to get more work done in an efficient environment.
