This package contains automatic installer/uninstaller, in partnership with AVG, recommending partner's products during install.
The partnership allows supporting PeaZip project to keep it free at no cost for the end-user. If you prefer, it is also available alternative automatic installer/uninstaller with no third party bundle: PeaZip for Windows
| Features |
PeaZip is a free file and archive manager, based on solid and proven Open Source technology of 7-Zip
for
handling mainstream archive formats, and other great Open Source
tools (like FreeARC, PAQ, UPX...) for
supporting additional file formats and features, in order to provide an
all
purpose zip utility featuring a powerful unified GUI that, unlike most
of other classic file archivers like
i.e. WinZip and WinRar, is natively portable
and cross-platform.|

The distinctive trait of PeaZip is the innovative and easy to use compression/extraction interface, more similar to CD burners interfaces rather than to a classic file compressor. This design makes extremely simple to check (and update) items set for compression and extraction, integrating a full featured file manager component.
Also, tasks created in the GUI can be easily saved as batch scripts, in order to automate backup operations, or for fine tuning, or for learning purpose, bridging the gap between the ease of use of GUI applications and power and flexibility of console.
Supported systems: ReactOS/Wine, Windows 9x, Windows 2K/XP, Windows Vista/7/8 (32 and 64 bit systems)
See change log and release notes.
| Usage
examples |
Manage, open and extract Zip archives, unzip files, free Rar extractor (unrar), extract Tar files on Windows (untar), create and convert archives, create compressed, spanned and password protected backup, compress and attach files and folders, encrypt files, split and join files (file spanning), secure file delete.
| Hints |
PeaZip is available in many different languages
,
click Options >
Localization to modify language of
the GUI. If you are willing to
contribute a translation please check
information in peazip-x.y.about_translations.zip file to know how to
contribute.Over networks, this application can be made available to multiple users, either with a shared configuration or with separate configuration for each user, see "Settings" and "Customization and scripting" in the help file (F1), that also contain useful hints for enhancing PeaZip's system integration and use of PeaZip in scripts.
PeaZip is built to be fully modular, you can freely replace backend executables in PeaZip/res directory with updated ones (as long as they support the same syntax) or with 64 bit counterpart if available.
If the host system cannot or should not be modified it is recommended to use PeaZip Portable, that runs without installation and can be simply extracted in any path, even on the network or on removable devices as USB memories.
(LGPL v3) are written in FreePascal, a powerful Open Source cross
platform IDE, and requires Lazarus IDE, see notes for
developers.Install/uninstall on Windows
To run unattended installation launch the Windows installer with /SILENT parameter; use /VERYSILENT for background installation, without notification to the users.
To re-configure system integration (file associations, context and SendTo menu), you can use Options > System integration.
During install, PeaZip
creates entries in SendTo menu
that can be simply copied to one user to another as needed, they are
located in C:\Documents and
Settings\(username)\SendTo (Windows XP) or C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo
(Vista/7),
assuming C as system's disk.
When uninstalled, PeaZip restores files
association with Windows'
Compressed Folders for the supported file types; to restore file
associations with a third party file archiver software
please
refer to its own documentation, usually it can be done
running the program's setup package or from the original application
itself. To manually restore file associations with
Compressed
Folders utility run: cmd /c assoc
.zip=CompressedFolder replacing .zip
with any file extension it is desired to be re-associated.To extract ACE files it is needed a separate plugin (due to UNACE freeware but closed source nature) available in Add-ons page.
On How-to page you can find online manual, FAQ, full technical specifications (supported archive formats, backend tools...) tips about how to use PeaZip, and Benchmarks page to see how PeaZip compares with other file archivers tools (WinRar, WinZip, and IZArc) in real world usage, and confront speed and compression performances of archiving utilities over a wide range of archive formats, i.e. create Zip and 7z files, extract Rar and Zipx archives etc.
You can get older versions of PeaZip on Google Code.
