Formats
The TuweZip window creates three archive types. It opens a wider set, so you can list and extract archives that came from somewhere else.
Create
| Format | In the window |
|---|---|
| ZIP | Default. Password encrypts the file contents. Names stay visible. Can be split into volumes. Can be written as a self-extracting .exe. |
| 7z | Password encrypts the contents and the names. Can be split into volumes. |
| tar.gz | No password and no volumes. |
TuweZip does not create RAR, xz, or lzip files.

Other archive options
- Presets are Store, Fastest, Normal, and Smallest. The dictionary size applies to 7z.
- Update modes for an existing ZIP are: create it again, replace files, update newer files, refresh existing files only, and sync.
- Paths stored in the archive can be relative, omitted, or full.
- Each file is compressed on its own.
- A password is available for ZIP and 7z. It is not available for a self-extracting archive, for an update of an existing archive, or for the other formats.
Payment archives use a different path: compress, then seal. See Payment archives.
