This is the ideal tool for those with flash and external hard drives. Keep it on each device. I use it mainly for security purposes. It will archive and encrypt a large folder in .pea format very fast. Try this with other tools and see how long it takes. Of course, it handles most, if not every other format, well too. Pea replaced 7zip, Izarc, and Axcrypt on my windows systems.

Neat, I keep it on my pen drive for cases that I need to handle archives on a computer that doesn't have WinRAR. WinRAR is still much better of course, hence the 4, but it suffices for on-the-go archives handling.

Nice archiver. Hate the GUI. 3rd choice. Winrar > 7Zip > Peazip. At least GUI wise if not compression wise.

Very cool that this useful utility comes also in portable form! It supports a lot of format usually unsupported from other mainsteam compression programs, so it's good having a single program with you for all tasks with no need of installing it. Even as portable application it's very rational and simple to use with its powerful and deeply customisable user iterface.

Well, I had to see for myself what all the fuss is about, so I tried out PeaZip. I still don't see what all the fuss is about. Comparing it to 7-Zip, my favorite portable archiver, it doesn't make the cut. Unlike 7-Zip, there is no way to register and unregister filetypes. (using the "SendTo" as suggested is primitive.) Also unlike 7-Zip, there is no way to quickly add it to and remove it from the shell context menu. The program is 3.71 mb, 7-Zip is 2.71 mb. Bottom line, I see no reason to switch from 7-Zip.
