NanaZip: A Modern 7-Zip Fork Built for Windows 11

Windows 11 hides many classic right-click entries behind a “Show more options” item. NanaZip, a fork of 7-Zip, was built to fit that newer shell while keeping the engine people already trust.

How NanaZip differs from 7-Zip

• Windows 11 integration: It adds modern context-menu entries so archive commands sit in the main right-click menu instead of the older legacy one.
• Packaged app: It installs like an app from the Microsoft Store and is kept up to date that way, or you can use the GitHub package.
• More formats: The project adds support for extra archive and image formats beyond what 7-Zip ships with, and it follows 7-Zip’s engine for the common ones such as 7z, ZIP and TAR.
• Familiar interface: The file manager window looks like 7-Zip, so there is little to relearn.
• Open source: The code is public on GitHub and released under the MIT license.

How to get it

1. The Download button opens the official GitHub releases page of the M2Team project.
2. You can also search for NanaZip in the Microsoft Store, which is the simplest way to receive updates.
3. After installing, right-click a file or folder to see the new compress and extract entries.

NanaZip is aimed at Windows 10 and Windows 11, and it is not available for macOS or Linux. Because it is a fork, features and release timing can differ from the original, so read the release notes if you depend on a specific 7-Zip behavior.

If you want the original project instead, see 7-Zip. Another free option with a graphical interface is PeaZip.
