ZArchiver Pro APK (Unlocked)

The description of ZArchiver Pro APK (Unlocked)

ZArchiver Pro APK is the Pro edition of ZArchiver, the small archive manager and file tool from ZDevs, and on this page its Pro features are open without a purchase: no ads, plus a few comfort extras. The app itself is tiny, around 5 MB, and it opens and creates RAR, 7z, ZIP and many other formats right on your phone. Our editors downloaded the file, scanned it and installed it on a real Android device before publishing, the same check we have run since 2018.

What is ZArchiver Pro?

ZArchiver is an archive manager and lightweight file browser for Android, built by ZDevs (free package ru.zdevs.zarchiver). It works fully offline and runs entirely on the device: there is no account to create and no cloud upload by default. You point it at a folder, and it packs, unpacks and browses your files.

It handles a long list of formats and can use several CPU cores at once, so compressing a large folder on a modern phone is quick. Pro is the same tool with the ads gone and a couple of small extras switched on.

Supported formats

ZArchiver reads and writes far more formats than the file managers most phones ship with. The core split:

It also does password protection and encryption, multi-volume (split) archives, and Unicode file names, so Cyrillic and other non-Latin names inside an archive show correctly. This is the same format support you get in the free app.

Free vs Pro (honest)

Here is the honest part, because the two often get confused. The free ZArchiver already does almost everything: it opens and creates every format above, with ads shown between actions. The paid version is a separate app, ZArchiver Donate / Pro (package ru.zdevs.zarchiver.pro).

What Pro actually adds is small. It removes the ads and turns on a couple of comfort features. The archiving engine, the format list and the file manager are identical to the free build. So if the free app covers your tasks, it already covers them. Buying Pro in Google Play is a cheap way to back ZDevs, and that is the route we point to if you want to support the developer. The build here simply opens those Pro extras without the payment.

How to download and install ZArchiver Pro APK

The file is small, around 5 MB, and runs on Android 6.0 and up. The whole install takes about a minute.

1. Tap the green Download APK button at the top of this page. The file downloads directly, with no registration or SMS.
2. Allow installation from unknown sources for your browser or file manager (Settings → Security).
3. If the Google Play version of ZArchiver is already installed, remove it first, since this build has a different signature and will not install over it.
4. Open the downloaded file, tap Install, then launch ZArchiver and point it at the folder you want to work with.

Common tasks and tips

• Unpack a RAR5 or 7z download, including a game with an OBB, straight into the right folder.
• Create a 7z archive with a password to keep files private before you share them.
• Split a large archive into volumes so each part fits your storage or an upload limit.
• Set the compression level when file size matters more than speed, or the reverse.
• Associate archive formats with ZArchiver so tapping a file opens it here by default.
• Clear the temporary files it makes while unpacking to free space afterwards.

Is it safe?

ZArchiver is an offline utility. It has no servers, no login and no online economy, so there is nothing to get banned from and nothing phoning home. The only real risk with any APK is where you get it, so download from the button on this page, keep Play Protect on, and you are good to go.
