PeaZip is a free archive manager utility for BSD, Linux, macOS, and Windows, which offers a cross-platform Open Source alternative to proprietary software (WinZip, WinRar, etc.), also available as portable package not requiring installation.
Works with 200+ archive types and variants (7z, ace, arc, brotli, bz2, cab, gz, iso, pea, rar, tar, wim, zip, zipx, zpaq, zstandard...), handles spanned archives (001, r01, z01...).
Can convert existing archives, split/join files, edit comments, search in archives, add files to separate archives.
Supports multiple archive encryption standards, provides file hashing tools, and can export GUI tasks as CLI scripts.
PeaZip also provides a capable file manager: bookmarking, search, instant content filter, duplicate files detection, integrated text, hex, and image viewers.
Features
- Cross-platform running as a native application on:
- BSD (x86-64)
- Linux (x86-64, and aarch64)
- macOS/Darwin (Intel x86-64, and aarch64 e.g. Mx Apple Silicon SoC family)
- Windows/Win64 (x86, and x86-64) compatible with Wine/ReactOS
- Open-source: Uses LGPLv3 license.
- Security-focused: Strong encryption, two-factor authentication, encrypted password manager, and secure deletion.
- Powerful compression: Uses Open Source technologies from 7-Zip/p7zip, FreeArc, PAQ/ZPAQ, PEA, UPX, Brotli, and Zstd projects.
Build Instructions
- Sources are available in the peazip-sources Git directory repository, and from Sources webpage, alongside detailed instructions for compiling the binaries and building installable and portable packages for various target systems.
- Source snapshots for each release can be found in the Releases section as
peazip-x.y.z.src.zippackages. - PeaZip is written in Lazarus/FreePascal, and Windows installers are scripted using InnoSetup, also using a Delphi/Pascal-like syntax.
