Zip View 2016 for Mac was available to download from the developer's website when we last checked. We cannot confirm if there is a free download of this app available. This software for Mac OS X was originally created by ilia. The software relates to System Tools.

The most popular versions of the tool are 2.5, 2.2 and 1.3. According to the results of the Google Safe Browsing check, the developer's site is safe. Despite this, we recommend checking the downloaded files with any free antivirus software. The latest version of Zip View can be installed on Mac OS X 10.6 or later.

From the developer:

Zip View allows you to quickly view the contents of compressed ZIP (.zip), RAR (.rar), JAR (.jar) files (with limited support for .zipx) and uncompress only those files you choose without having to uncompress the entire archive.

You can quickly preview one or more files in the archive (without uncompressing them) by simply pressing the Space key to launch Quick Look, or clicking on the Quick Look icon.

You may want to check out more Mac applications, such as Zip View Pro, Smart Zipper - Compress, decompress Zip, 7Z, Rar files or Project Viewer 365, which might be similar to Zip View.
