What is an FZIP file?

FZIP files mostly belong to Foxit Reader. FZIP files are used by Foxit software to deliver installer packages.
These files are compressed archives that hold all necessary components for installing or updating Foxit Reader plugins. They work in a way that the Foxit installer reads the archived files and applies the update directly.

  • Purpose: They encapsulate installation data and plugin components.
  • Functionality: They are meant to be processed by Foxit Reader, not by standard extraction tools.
  • Use: Run the file within the Foxit installation process to update or add features.
