Banana Shrink

Important files can be kept safe through a simple method, by bundling them inside an archive, where no malicious programs can enter, without the need of adding a password. This also reduces the overall size of files on the disk through compression, and is one of the features that might make you want to try Banana Shrink.

Features:

• Simple and efficient file compression


• No password required for protection


• Portable and can be used on various computers


• Intact system registries for PC stability


• Compact main window with easy navigation

All the application has to offer can be found in a pretty compact main window. Most of the space is used to show the files you load, with a side navigation panel letting you select them, progress slider to know when it’s done, and a few general configuration options.

Specifications:

• Support for loading entire folders


• Three compression levels to choose from


• Password option for extra protection


• Self-extracting archive creation


• Quick extraction process

Don’t expect the result to take up considerably less space than the source, even if compression level is set to maximum. In any case, it only takes a little while to finish bundling your selection of files inside a self-extracting archive. Running it brings up a small prompt, where you select destination and initiate the extraction process.

Conclusion:

All things considered, we come to the conclusion that Banana Shrink is a practical application that lets you create self-extracting archives in the nick of time, with the possibility to also add a password for more safety. Although it feels a little rough around the edges, the core features are properly presented and delivered, living up to expectations.
