Astrotite is a Windows compression program that creates .afa archives in its proprietary format. The format is intended to provide compression comparable to commonly used ZIP and RAR archives.
Astrotite can encrypt archive data using AES-256 and CAST-256 and includes checks intended to help detect data errors.
Astrotite and its website have been reported as potentially unsafe by some sources. Users should therefore handle the software and its archives with appropriate caution.
Use Astrotite on Microsoft Windows to open and decompress an .afa archive. The program is required for archives that other archive utilities do not recognize.
It may be possible to repack .afa files to other compression archives. Alternatively, open and extract the archive with Astrotite, then create a new ZIP or other archive with a suitable archiving program.
