For most people, BiGZiP is a FREE Java based compression utility. It does what other programs do but in a Java Environment, so no matter what your OS is, as long as you can run Java, you can run BiGZiP.

For developers, BiGZiP gives you the freedom to plug in your own compression engines without having to develop your own front end. What's more, is that the source is open to the developers to be improved by developers.

BiGZiP is a Java based compression utility and will run on any Java Virtual Machine.

This means that if your operating system can run a JVM, it can run BiGZiP. This is useful if you have multiple operating systems on one PC and if you have to zip and unzip files. You no longer need to reboot into the operating system that has your zip software, since BiGZiP covers all.

Simply have a look at the tested and compatible operating environments and you will see what BiGZiP Covers.

BiGZiP also gives developers the ability to create their own Routines and plug them in to the BiGZiP GUI. Routines such as Compression, Anti-Virus and encryption are all capable of being plugged into the BiGZiP front end. If you make one good enough we will even put it on our site and help you sell it as an add-on.

If this feature of BiGZiP interests you please go to the Developer section of the site for a lot more information.
