To set compression defaults, go to the app’s preferences and choose the compression format and method that the app will always launch with from the General tab.
#KEKA ZIP PASSWORD#
If the file is password protected, it will ask you to enter the password to complete extraction. If you just want to extract the contents of an archived file, drag the file and drop it on to the app’s icon. Enter a password in the Password field, and then drag & drop the file(s) you want to compress onto the app’s icon (a rolled up armadillo, by the looks of it) on the Dock. The sizes are appropriated by the storage device they are suitable for. Select the compression method, and if you are compressing a particularly large file that you intend to burn to a CD or DVD, split the output file accordingly by choosing the right size. Lunch the app, and select the format that you want to compress a file to from the Format dropdown.
#KEKA ZIP FOR FREE#
Keka costs $1.99 in the Mac app store, but if you want the older version of the app (which we tested), you can download it for free from the developer’s website. The app supports 7Z, ZIP, TAR, GZIP and BZIP2, lets you password protect files, and split files by size suitable for writing to a CD or DVD. Keka is a paid Mac app that handles the usual file compression and extraction functions, and can also create and open password protected files (provided you have the password this isn’t for cracking passwords). However, password protected zip archives are different.
The default Mac archiving utility takes care of most compression formats, as does Unarchiver, a famous file compression and extraction app. For the Windows platform, there are a multitude of file compression applications available, and very few of them will cost you anything. Compressing files to reduce their size is something we’ve all done, either to save disk space, or to make it easier and faster to email them.
