Repair Damaged Zip Archive

This feature allows you to attempt to repair any Zip archives (other archive formats are not supported) that are damaged or corrupted. Choose Repair Damaged Zip Archive from the Tools menu, then follow the steps below:

1. You will be asked to select the Zip file you want to repair. Locate your Zip archive, then click the Open button.

2. You will be asked where to save the repaired file, and what filename to use. By default, PicoZip will use the same filename as the damaged Zip file with the word “_fixed” added at the end of the filename (e.g. Damaged.zip becomes Damaged_fixed.zip). Click the Save button.

3. The View last Output dialog box will be displayed, showing you the number of files that were recovered from the damaged Zip archive. Click the Close button to return to PicoZip.

You can also access this feature from within Windows Explorer. In Windows Explorer, right click on the Zip file you wish to repair, then select Repair Zip Archive from the popup context menu. After that, follow steps 2-3 above.
