TASTEZIP docs
TASTEZIP is a next-generation archive manager that combines a secure Rust-based core with high-performance compression technology. It picks the right processing approach for your files and system, and brings compression, extraction, integrity checks, job management, and performance measurement together in one intuitive environment.

Key features
Secure Rust-based compression core
Designed around Rust, which prioritizes memory safety and stability. It selectively combines proven C/C++ codecs and Assembly-optimized paths to pursue both safety and performance.
Automatic optimization for your data
Analyzes the type and size of your data, from documents and source code to executables and media, to choose a suitable codec and compression settings. Rather than relying on a single method, it provides an efficient execution path for your working environment.
High-performance multi-core processing
Uses multiple CPU cores and available instruction sets to efficiently process large files and many files. You can also adjust the thread count and memory usage to match your system resources and goals.
TASTEZIP's own .tzp format
Provides .tzp, TASTEZIP's default archive format. It aims for high performance and an extensible compression structure, and major formats such as ZIP and 7z are supported as well.
Compression presets for every purpose
Choose from Fast for quick processing, Balanced for a mix of speed and ratio, and Maximum for the highest compression ratio. Get the right result for your purpose without complex settings.
Optimized for large files and storage
Reduces memory load with a streaming design that processes files sequentially and efficient I/O buffers. It's designed to cut unnecessary wait times on SSDs and other fast storage too.
Safe extraction
Checks the archive structure and target paths before extracting. It detects path traversal, suspicious symbolic links, and conflicts with existing files to protect your original data and system.
Conflict handling that protects originals
Files with the same name in the target folder are never overwritten automatically. You choose whether to overwrite, skip, or rename.
Integrity checks and result verification
Checks archives for corruption and verifies checksums, and confirms the result is sound after compression or extraction. If a problem is found, it clearly explains the cause and the affected items.
Convenient multi-job management
See the progress, speed, remaining time, and status of multiple compression and extraction jobs at a glance. Per-job priority, cancellation, and retry help you manage even complex workloads efficiently.
Real-time system status
Shows CPU, memory, and disk usage alongside compression speed while a job runs. Adjust the memory limit and background job priority to share system resources evenly with other programs.
Built-in benchmark
Measure compression and extraction throughput, compression ratio, CPU usage, and elapsed time yourself. It aims for reproducible performance measurement, so you can compare results under the same data and system conditions.
Windows Explorer integration
Provides a dedicated .tzp file icon and file association, and lets you start compression and extraction quickly from the Windows Explorer menu. Current-user integration settings can be applied without administrator rights.
Intuitive desktop environment
File browsing, drag and drop, new archives, extraction, checks, and job settings are laid out on consistent screens. Light, dark, and system themes and display density settings are also supported.
Multilingual support
Detects your operating system's display language and applies a suitable language by default. The language you choose is saved and kept for the next launch.
Troubleshooting
I can't see a download button.
Check the currently published installers and verification details on the downloads page.
Can I check which operating systems are supported?
The docs only list environments verified for each product. “Being verified” means support isn't confirmed yet.
Where can I check the current feature scope?
The key features in these docs and the product page are written based on the current project source.
