Bitser is a powerful tool that lets you manage archives and backup files of various types, including popular ones like ZIP, 7-ZIP, EXE, RAR, ISO, MSI, TAR, and so on. Anyway, it supports most of these formats only for extraction, as for creating new archives it can handle only the ZIP, 7-ZIP and self-extracting EXE output types.
Bitser can streamline the workflow considerably when dealing with archives, as it supports batch processing multiple files simultaneously, even right from the Windows Explorer context menu. Its interface is also really simple, straightforward and intuitive, resembling the typical Explorer-like interfaces of other modern applications. In other words, even complete beginners can use this neat program without any trouble at all.
Though simple-to-use, Bitser is also quite comprehensive and feature-rich. For example, it provides a handy password management tool that helps you securely store multiple passwords in a single AES encrypted file. The reliable AES-256 bit encryption algorithm can also be used to secure archives or backups. Last but not least, a handy MD5, SHA-1 and SHA-256 checksum calculator is available as well.
Bitser supports different compression levels, offers fast processing speed, and best of all, it's completely free. As you can see, it's packed with a lot of cool advantages and comes with no remarkable flaws, so it's definitely worth a try.
