A clean and straightforward graphical interface for compressing (packing) and extracting (unpacking) archive files, built with Python and PySide6.



  



## Overview

ZipGUI provides an intuitive user interface to manage your archive files effortlessly. 

Leveraging Python's built-in `shutil` module, it supports common archive formats like ZIP, TAR, GZ, BZ2, and XZ. 

Whether you need to quickly compress a folder or extract an archive, ZipGUI simplifies the process with visual feedback.

## ✨ Features

*   **Dual Mode Operation:** Easily switch between **Packing** (compressing files/folders) and **Unpacking** (extracting archives).

*   **Multiple Format Support:** Compresses to `zip`, `tar`, `gztar`, `bztar`, `xztar` formats.

*   **User-Friendly Interface:** Simple layout with clear options for selecting source paths, destination paths, and archive formats.

## 📋 Requirements

*   **Python:** 3.7 or higher

*   **PySide6:** The Qt for Python framework.

## 📦 Building Executable (Optional)

You can create a standalone executable using PyInstaller.

*   **Using the spec file (Recommended for more control):**

    Then build using the spec file:

    ```bash

    pyinstaller --clean ZipGUI.spec

    ```

*   **Simple one-file build:**

    ```bash

    pyinstaller --onefile --windowed --name="ZipGUI" app.py

    ```

The executable will be located in the `dist` folder.
