PeaZip is a file compression and decompression tool that helps to reduce the size of large files.

Top Recommended Alternative

Using the program is a pleasant experience - at the most basic level, add the files you want to compress/decompress using the file explorer on the right and chose the action you want from the main toolbar or by right clicking. The PeaZip interface is fresh and easy-to-use with a few built-in themes to spice things up.

Right-clicking on a file or folder and choosing Add to archive or Browse path with PeaZip will also provide direct access to the program's factions. The compression/decompression process is very quick and smooth, and there are impressive advanced options for users who want to get a little more technical.

Among the best of these advanced PeaZip features are the encryption/password options, compression variables, and the File tools, which allow you to split files, join them and even view the checksum files. PeaZip really impressed us - it's a top-class program that performs at a really high level, and is a worthy rival to apps such as WinZip or 7Zip.

PeaZip is a fantastic program for all your compressing/decompressing needs.

    Good. PeaZip is unique in the fact not only does it compress and uncompress files but it also works as a file manager. While the compression rate isn't amazing and the file manager isn't as complete as...i love PeaZin

    My complain about Peazip and My Happines about it. When i open Plant VS Zombie, wo usually i open it with WinRar. I Cant play the application because when i open plat VS Zombie.exe it extract automatically. But when i open it, it doesn'n extraxt automatically. I very disapointed when i realized i need tou extract it manually. But i don't know how to do it. I hope in the future that cons doesn't appear again. But i very happy when i see the interface. It was very amazing Pros: Interface is AmazingMany types of file. Even Linux and Mac files too in my Windows PC
