Powerful multiformat compressor/expander.
Compressed files help us move data from one place to another a lot easier, making the file size a lot lighter and even giving us the possibility to include a password so that their contents isn't public. The most popular applications of this category are
WinRAR, WinZIP and WinACE, but in the last few years other
free alternatives like
7-Zip or
PeaZip have been able to make space for themselves on the market.
PeaZip is an easy-to-use decompressor, has an interface that is very similar to that of the rest of the applications of this category, this means, a
file explorer very similar to that of Windows from where we can search for the compressed files and view their contents. Among its options we have to pay special attention to is the possibility to protect files with a password, the integration of the applications features in Windows contextual menu and the conversion tools.
The application is compatible with more than 90 different formats among which we can name among others:
7Z, 7-Zip sfx, ARJ, BZip2,
ISO, JAR, CPIO, DEB, PAQ, PEA,
RAR, TAR, Z and
ZIP.
If you want a
free application to compress and decompress all kinds of files and that isn't very difficult to use, you should try
PeaZip.
