Introduction

File Roller is an application for managing archives, designed to be easy to use. It provides all the tools necessary for creating, modifying or extracting archives.

An archive is composed of one or more files, along with metadata. It may be encrypted in part or as a whole. By collecting multiple data files together into a single one, archive files are useful for storing data and transferring it between computers.

With File Roller you can:

  • Create new archive by adding files or folders

  • View the content of the existing archive

  • View a file contained in the archive

  • Modify existing archives

  • Extract files from archive
