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.

Version: PeaZip 1.11
"Stunning interface, rapid turn arounds and minimal space!!!"
Pros: The appearance has borrowed a great detail from that of limewire, this is not a downpoint. It looks smooth and it runs smoother than it looks...the program is three times as small as your common pro varieties.
