        Installation

        Windows

        The installer lets you install for yourself (no admin rights) or for all users. It adds the Explorer right-click menu; on Windows 11 it is under "Show more options".

        The installer is not code-signed yet, so "Windows protected your PC" may appear. Click "More info" → "Run anyway". The source is fully public, releases are built by GitHub Actions, and you can verify files with SHA256SUMS on the release page.

        macOS

        Open the dmg and drag DaperZip to Applications.

        If macOS warns on first launch, right-click DaperZip in Finder and choose "Open".

        Linux

        Install the .deb on Debian/Ubuntu. On other distributions make the AppImage executable and run it.

        chmod +x DaperZip_*.AppImage

        FAQ

        Is it really free?

        Yes. DaperZip is completely free and open source under the MIT license. Anyone can read the source code on GitHub.

        How is it different from 7-Zip?

        Compression is done by the 7-Zip engine. DaperZip is a separate project that adds convenience on top: automatic fixes for Korean file names, smart extract, editing inside archives and an Explorer right-click menu.

        Can it open RAR files?

        Yes, it can open and extract RAR. It cannot create new RAR archives; for new archives you can choose ZIP, 7Z, TAR variants or WIM.

        Korean file names in my archive look garbled.

        DaperZip detects decomposed Hangul from macOS archives and legacy Windows (CP949) ZIP names and fixes them automatically. You can also pick the ZIP file name encoding in Settings.

        I get a warning when installing.

        The installers are not code-signed yet, so Windows and macOS show a warning on first launch. Follow the installation steps above. Releases include SHA256SUMS so you can verify the files.

        Does it collect any data?

        No. Compression and extraction happen on your computer, and no files or usage data are sent anywhere. On start it checks GitHub for a newer version, which you can turn off in Settings. See the privacy notice for details.

        Which systems are supported?

        Windows 10 / 11 (x64), macOS 10.15 or later (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux x64 (deb and AppImage).
