as well as splitting archives in parts (…part1, …part2, …part3 …), create self-extracting (.exe) archives, do multiple archives at once.

It can do plenty of other useful stuff for instance joining / splitting files ending in suffix (001, 002, 003) etc.

PeaZip supports unarchiving of 150 archive file types, and by installing it you save time otherwise spend in installing two separate tools on Windows. As I'm trying to substitute all non-free software with free software even whether I have to install or maintain Windows, just recently I found out about existence of PeaZip – Free Zip file utility / Free Rar Extractor.īesides being open source software PeaZip and supports Windows it is also available prepackaged for Linux / BSD as well. It is pretty annoying that each time you run Winrar you get reminded you're using its trial version. Though both can be used as trial versions for personal use for commercial use one had to purchase license.

Until recently it was almost impossible to have Microsoft Windows without WinRar and WinZip archiver programs installed.
