Ziplark
Free cross-platform archiver: GUI, CLI, and an MCP server
Ziplark is a versatile, free, and open-source archiver built on a compact Rust engine, offering robust file compression and decompression across multiple platforms. Key features include:
• Broad format support: reads ZIP, RAR5, 7z, tar, ISO
• Secure archive creation: generates ZIP (AES-256), 7z, and tar
• Flexible interfaces: desktop application, command-line tool (CLI), and MCP server
• Enhanced security: zip-slip-safe extraction
• Minimal footprint: small binary size with no bundled Chromium
This tool is designed for efficiency and security, providing a tiny ~1.4 MB engine that runs natively on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Its architecture ensures that all extraction paths are protected by a zip-slip guard, preventing any malicious files from escaping their intended destination folder. The desktop application utilizes the OS webview for a lean user experience, while the CLI and MCP server offer powerful scripting and integration capabilities, all powered by the identical Rust core.
Ziplark is ideal for individual users and developers who prioritize speed, security, and cross-platform compatibility in their file management tasks. Whether you need to quickly extract diverse archive types, securely package sensitive data with AES-256 encryption, or integrate archiving functionality into custom scripts and servers, Ziplark provides a dependable and lightweight solution. Its open-source nature promotes transparency and community-driven enhancements.
