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 2.7
Pros: supports formats both for very fast or very high compression
can extract a lot of archive types, including RARCons: none I can think of
Summary: I'm long time user of this little useful application, it did not ever gave me a problem.
Last version is even better, and I transitioned from Portable to installable with no problem as it does not mess with the system and integrates nicely. -

Pros: Free product, nice interface; user friendly.
Cons: McAfee reported Artemis! trojan.
