CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff on November 07, 2008
Novice-friendly but with features for the expert and free archiving tools rarely cover all those bases, but PeaZip hits a home run.
Operating PeaZip is as easy as dragging files. Drop a ZIP file on the interface and PeaZip goes into decompression mode. Drop a regular file and it opens the archiving screen. Well-labeled buttons and simple functions make both processes quick and painless. Adding files and folders is also quickly accomplished using function buttons and traditional file browse tools.
Novice users will be able to use default settings to create well-made archives. Experienced users will like the easily set options. Each well-designed interface includes option tabs that contain simple pull-downs, radio buttons, and text boxes to set compression levels, methods, dictionaries, and even encryption. Most users will find this app one of the most simple to set exactly to their preferences.
Anyone looking for a small and useful archiving tool should give PeaZip a test. Most won't continue their search.
Publisher's description
From Giorgio Tani Software :PeaZip is an OS-portable file archiver. It features archive volume spanning, compression, authenticated encryption. Supports .7z and 7-zip SFX self-extracting archives, BZip2, GZip, PEA, TAR, Z, ZIP, AND RAW split/join file with optional integrity check. From links in SendTo menu it's possible to directly send from Explorer multiple files and folders to archives of different types, encrypt, split files and it is possible to extract, extract to new folder, test or list multiple archives at once, even of mixed types.

PeaZip is released under LGPL for Windows and Linux (GTK1 and GTK2). The interface is fully skinnable and skins can be saved as plain text. Version 1.1 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
