Detailed Capabilities Overview
FÆrchiver’s strength lies in its extensive and precise feature set, designed for both everyday users and power users needing advanced control.
Archive Creation & Compression:
You can create new archives in multiple formats, including 7z (7zip), zip, bzip2 (bz2), gzip (gzz), XZ, lz4, tar, and zst (zstd). These new archives can be protected with passwords, split into multi-volume sets (for 7z format), or have their contents modified post-creation by adding or removing files from zip, 7zip, tar, apk, and mtz archives.
Archive Extraction & Browsing:
The app excels at opening and unpacking a remarkably wide spectrum of archive types. Supported extraction formats include 7z, zip, rar (including rar5), bzip2, gzip, XZ, iso, tar, arj, cab, lzh, lha, lzma, xar, tgz, tbz, Z, deb, rpm, zipx, mtz, chm, dmg, cpio, cramfs, various img files (fat, ntfs, ubf), wim, ecm, lzip, zst (zstd), egg, and alz. You can browse the contents of these archives before extracting, perform partial extractions of selected files only, and seamlessly handle split or spanned archives (like .001, .z01, or part1.rar files). It can even open archive files directly from email applications.
Specialized System Operations:
Beyond standard archiving, FÆrchiver enables direct installation of APK applications and OBB data files from within backup archives, streamlining the restoration process. For devices running Android 9 and above, it optimizes handling for smaller files (under 10 MB) by using direct opening protocols to avoid temporary folder extraction when system support allows.
