Description of ZipGenius 6 Standard Edition
Like PowerArchiver 2006, ZipGenius 6 Standard employs the .7z file format (originally developed for an open-source program called 7-Zip) to deliver its maximum compression rates. However, ZipGenius was the slower of the two. In the same tests, ZipGenius 6 Standard's use of .7z did slightly out-compress StuffIt Standard 9.5's .sitx and WinRAR 3.61's .rar formats, but it also took much longer to do so.
ZipGenius 6 Standard can create archives in a few other formats as well (including .zip and .tar), and will extract a variety of others like .rar or .ace, plus .iso and .nrg disc images. Support for .arj, .arc, or .lzh archive extraction requires external programs. ZipGenius 6 Standard offers support for CryptoZIP 2.0, AES-128, BlowFish-128, and TwoFish encryption.
ZipGenius 6 Standard has a couple of free add-ons that you can optionally download. The first adds FTP capabilities to the app, and another lets you import and archive images from sources like TWAIN scanners, memory cards, or USB thumb drives. Collections of large photo files are a perfect candidate for archiving, and ZipGenius offers help by displaying thumbnail previews of images contained within a compressed file--though not quite as smoothly as WinZip 11 does.
Like the other apps in our roundup, ZipGenius 6 Standard can create multiple-volume archives (split into multiple files of user-definable size). However, I could only get this to work with .7z (as apposed to .zip) files in my tests.
