The archive you edit like a folder
Crisper packs files into a secure container and lets you work with it like an ordinary directory: add, delete, move and search — without repacking. Ten compression algorithms, AES encryption, splitting into parts.

Everything you expect from an archive — and what archives usually lack
Edit in place
Add files and folders to a finished container, delete, rename and move them — it is never rebuilt from scratch.
AES encryption
AES-128, AES-192 or AES-256 with a password. Without the password the contents can't be read.
Ten algorithms
ZSTD, Brotli, LZMA, BZIP2, GZIP, Deflate, LZ4, Lizard, Density and Snappy: denser for storage, faster for sharing.
Split into parts
A container is split into parts of a set size — for USB sticks, cloud storage and network transfer.
Search inside
Files are found by name across the whole container without unpacking, and search forgives typos.
Diagnostics
Integrity checks and index rebuilding with a detailed log: damage shows up at once.
Author details
Name, contacts, copyright and a description live in the container itself; copyright can be locked with its own password.
Lock editing
A finished container can be closed to further changes: it stays exactly as its author built it.
A file manager, not a window with an “Extract” button
A container opens as a directory tree: sizes, dates, search and actions in one panel. Files are dragged with the mouse; the interface speaks Russian and English.
.hpp files found in the container with one query.Ten compression algorithms — for any job
The algorithm is chosen per container: pack quickly on the fly, balanced for everyday work, or as dense as possible for long-term storage. Already compressed data can be stored as is.
Fast
When time matters more than space: transfers, temporary copies, hot data.
Balanced
Good compression at high speed — the default choice for most cases.
Dense
When every byte counts: long-term archives and slow links.
Encryption is AES with a 128, 192 or 256-bit key. The password is set when the container is created; without it the contents can't be read.
The same — from the command line
The console version is for servers, scripts and backups. The
dan command does everything the app does: create and unpack a container, add, delete, move, search and check.
It runs on Windows, macOS, Linux, FreeBSD and Solaris — on x86_64 and ARM64.
