PeaZip is a free, open-source, cross-platform file archiver and archive manager supporting 200+ formats including 7z, RAR, ZIP, TAR, and Zstandard. It offers strong authenticated encryption, archive conversion, file splitting, and a built-in file manager, with GUI tasks exportable as CLI scripts.
Use cases
- extract rar files for free
- compress files to 7z or zip
- open iso and cab archives
- encrypt archives with password and keyfile
- split large files into volumes
- batch convert archives between formats
- find duplicate files and manage archives with a gui
- automate compression tasks via cli scripts
When to choose
- you need a free cross-platform alternative to WinZip or WinRAR
- you must handle many obscure archive formats in one tool
- you want strong encryption with two-factor (password + keyfile) support
- you want to script archive tasks by exporting GUI operations as CLI commands
When to avoid
- you need only a lightweight command-line compressor without a GUI
- you require deep integration into a specific desktop environment's native file manager
- you need programmatic library access rather than a desktop application
