/ About /

PeaZip is a free, open-source file archiver utility available on Windows, macOS, and Linux that supports opening, extracting, and compressing over 200 archive formats including RAR, ZIP, TAR, and 7Z. It offers strong encryption with optional two-factor authentication, a built-in file manager, and the ability to export GUI-defined tasks as command-line scripts. The software is portable, requires no installation, and is released under the LGPLv3 license.

/ How it works /

PeaZip integrates multiple open-source compression backends (7-Zip, Brotli, Zstandard, FreeArc, PAQ) into a unified GUI and file manager that also exports tasks as CLI scripts
