PeaZip Review

Archive Creation and Extraction

PeaZip covers the archive formats most users expect while also handling many less common formats.

File Management Tools

The software goes beyond basic zip and unzip tasks. Split and join tools, duplicate search, advanced search, checksum utilities, and batch conversion make PeaZip more capable than a simple extraction-only utility.

Checksum and hash tools are especially useful when verifying downloads or confirming that a file has not changed. Batch tools are useful when the same action needs to be applied to several archives instead of repeating the process one file at a time.

Encryption and Security Options

PeaZip includes encryption options that vary depending on the archive format. It also has password-management and secure-deletion related features.

Setup Options

Windows users can choose an installer or portable version.
