Most of us daily come across compressed files in mostly two formats .RAR and .ZIP. We use Winzip and WinRAR to decompress and compress them. But, both of them are not free. They come in evaluated version. We need to purchase it to get it a full version which won’t show annoying wait message.
To avoid all this, You could try using this new PeaZip to extract RAR and ZIP files. “PeaZip Archive Manger” is an open source application. It also supports other formats other than RAR and ZIP formats.
PeaZip Archive Manager
In total it supports 87 formats. The good thing about this is, it also supports Linux compression formats like tar, gz, etc., PeaZip uses advanced compression and encryption standards and provides the flexibility of using it as standalone or portable application.
Following are the PeaZip’s features:
- Apply multiple search filters
- Create/extract multiple archives at once
- Create self-extracting archives
- Supports command line interface
- Save and bookmark archive’s layout
- Secure and multiple encryption standards

@Pallab, yeah it is a nice app. I am using it.

@Gagan, 7zip is also good. I have tried that also.
Yeah, peazip is great app
@Best CSS Gallery, Me too.
PeaZip looks great but I haven’t tried it yet as I use 7-zip and haven’t come accross any problems with it yet. This looks like it has a much nicer interface though.

@Sire, yeah that winzip’s annoying messages makes one angry…
I was really looking to try something other than Winrar. This looks like a very good alternative
Madhur Kapoor´s last blog ..Store Your Files Securely in The Vault
@Madhur Kapoor, Yeap. Winrar is also good. better than winzip
After a little comparison, 7-zip is faster to load and has a nicer context menu for me, peazip seems to use 7-zip for some functionality anyway.
Peazip looks nicer but I’ll be sticking with 7-zip
P.S. I couldn’t download from sourceforge for some reason so dowloaded from cnet here:
