Here is a comparison from a test I did with some data folders. Peazip can do it all! Obviously it can compress on both 7z and Arc formats and with a handful of other ones (BZ2, GZ, *PAQ, PEA, QUAD/BALZ, TAR, UPX, WIM, ZIP), for people that need more. Sadly unlike FreeArc you can't select a bunch of files/folders and add each one to a separate folder. Personally I use a tool that splits what I want to backup with FreeARC to smaller folders, so I do not have a problem, but 7Zip has it integrated, so that is a plus. Like FreeARC, you can create SFX files and unlike FreeARC it can split the compressed file to separate parts.

Other compression software use the 7zip engine because it can actually open so many different types of zip files (sadly not including ARC). 7Zip's compress is amongst the best, even if not the top and if anything it is the best software from the big names.

Sadly it did not have support to split the archive into pieces.ħZip is currently the best freeware, since it is still update and it can open a lot of different kind of archives. It had the power to create SFX files and if you selected a bunch of files/folders you could add each of them with a simple click. Like I said I used Winrar in the past to open files, but since winrar did not support ARC files, FreeArc was used only to create and open ARC files. Obviously it can't be the main archive program, because even if it uses the 7zip technology to open archives, it is from 2010 (or 2012 if you feel like using an unstable alpha version). FreeArc, which has been discontinued on 2012 with 0.67 alpha version and the current stable release is 0.666 from 2010, is in my humble opinion the compression too, using an ARC compression method. Peazip now supports running anything straight from the archive without first unzipping it!įreeArc and 7zip were and kind of are my main compression tools. It made installation of program with multiple files easy and clean, since I did not have to extract the archive first. Winrar was my main extraction tool, mostly because I could open an archive that included a program in it for example, that had more than just one file and Winrar would run it as if I had it extracted in a folder. Peazip has been for the last 4-5 years, if not more, an archive program I used on the side to do what the major programs I had could not. After leaving an as negative as possible review for that one, I want to comment on my current favorite, Peazip. I came here from a review on IZArc, which was the only Multi-type archiver I knew afar from this one. For anyone that wants a Swiss army knife, read on. So for anyone looking for speed, stick to 7Zip. When it comes to 7z and zip archives, 7Zip is faster than Peazip. I want first to throw this here, since people care more for speed rather than anything else.

PeaZip provides fast, high compression ratio multi-format archiving, and a complete, powerful file manager for viewing, browsing and searching archive files, featuring a wide set of data security functions: strong encryption (AES, Twofish, Serpent), encrypted password manager, optional two-factor authentication (encryption with password and keyfile), secure delete, and file hashing tools.įinally Peazip became all I dreamed of.
