SFX Maker

SFX Maker is a handy tool that lets you create self-extracting ZIP files from regular ZIP archives. This means you can open your archived files on any computer without needing special software. Isn’t that cool?

Create Self-Extracting ZIP Files Easily

The program features a straightforward interface designed like a wizard. You can easily point to a ZIP file using the file browser, though it doesn't support drag and drop. But honestly, it’s super easy to navigate!

Regular ZIP Archive Creation

One of the standout features of SFX Maker is its ability to create regular ZIP archives with your files before turning them into self-extracting ones. So, you have plenty of options!

Customize Your Extraction Experience

You can tweak various settings, like changing the window caption and showing the ZIP comment at startup if there’s one available. Plus, you can hide the list of files in the archive and even show a progress bar while extracting.

Flexible Extraction Options

SFX Maker also allows you to set the default extraction path, overwrite existing files if needed, and let users extract individual files. If you're into automation, you can even run a command line after extraction! And don’t worry about forgetting your settings; you can save them for future projects.

Multilingual Support & Good Performance

This tool supports multiple languages and responds quickly while getting tasks done fast. In our tests, we didn’t see any error dialogs popping up or crashes happening! Thanks to its user-friendly layout mixed with advanced settings, SFX Maker should satisfy everyone looking for an easy way to manage their archives.
