There are numerous users who prefer to compress files by using context menu options, in Windows Explorer, because most compression software provide many more options than we actually need. Besides compressing and extracting files, ArcThemAll! proves that you don't need an overloaded interface to archive your files in a neat and orderly fashion. It supports a wide range of archive formats, including self extracting ones, it provides a smart UPX compression feature and more.

The application is free and open source. It should not take more than a minute to download the setup file and to install its components. Furthermore, a portable version is available as well, which can be used from a removable drive, on any computer.

You can target multiple files and folders by dragging and dropping them over a list, on the application's compact interface. You can also load archives, in APM, ARJ, BZIP2, CAB and many other formats. Depending on the loaded data, you can decide to compress or extract it, by clicking different buttons.

If you want to add your files to an archive, you can opt for a UPX compression, to add EXE, DLL or OCX files. Alternatively, you may add your data to ZIP or 7Z archives and choose to add all folders to separate archives or just the parent folders or add each file to its own archive. When it comes to extracting files, the software can process multiple archives in a single run. It can also place all files in the same folder or create separate folders, for individual archives.

You can make a series of configurations for UPX, ZIP and 7Z archives, in a general settings menu, on separate tabs. Besides selecting different processing methods for UPX archives, ArcThemAll! can be set to create backups, compress embedded icons, resources and export sections, and strip relocation records. It is also possible to encrypt ZIP and 7Z archives and to create self extracting archives.

Pros

ArcThemAll! is capable of compressing large amounts of data in separate archives and it can process UPX archives as well. The software places various compression and extraction methods at your disposal. It also allows you to create self extracting archives and encrypt them.

Cons

There are no other output formats available, besides UPX, ZIP and 7Z. You don't need to go through complex configurations if you want to compress your data. ArcThemAll! allows you to add your files to archives faster and easier.
