PeaZip
PeaZip is a cross-platform archive manager and file compression utility. It functions as a tool for compressing, extracting, and managing files across various formats, including 7Z, ZIP, RAR, and TAR.
The project includes a specialized archive format converter for adjusting compatibility and compression levels, and a file integrity verifier for calculating checksums and hashes. It provides security tools for protecting data via authenticated encryption and passwords, as well as secure file deletion to permanently erase data from disk space.
The application covers a broad range of capabilities, including archive content browsing and editing, multi-volume spanning for large files, and duplicate file removal. It also supports automated workflows by exporting graphical configurations into command line scripts for headless task execution.
The system allows for extensibility through archive format plugins and external tool integration. Users can customize the interface layout and apply themes that adapt to system dark mode settings.
Features
- Compression and Archiving - Provides a comprehensive suite for compressing and extracting files across various high-compression and high-speed formats.
