IronZip – C# ZIP & Archive Library

Description

IronZip is a robust C# archive library designed for developers to handle ZIP, TAR, GZIP, and BZIP2 archives programmatically. It allows creating archives from files, streams, or byte arrays, supports nested files of any type, and offers nine compression levels to balance speed and file size. Password protection with Traditional, AES‑128, or AES‑256 encryption is also supported.

Developers can add, extract, rename, or delete individual files within existing archives and access metadata such as file names, compressed sizes, and comments. IronZip is cross-platform, compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, and supports .NET 10–3.1 and .NET Framework 4.6.2+. With a single DLL installation, NuGet support, integration with other Iron components, and comprehensive documentation, IronZip provides a simple, reliable solution for adding archive functionality to .NET applications.
