PeaZip is GOAT software. Truly amazing.
How does it compare to 7-Zip?
They are basically a vitamined frontend + custom backend for 7zip-zstd supporting several other formats such as lzip.
It support zip, rar, 7z. Basically all archive formats. It has way better UI. It is open source. It is free in beer.
It is open source. It is free in beer.
It is free as in speech. Your phrase refers to proprietary yet no cost software.
Free as in freedom is not a big argument for most people. But as in beer 😏
This!
I used winrar at first, but never truly trusted 7zip. Didn't like the way it looked. Then first time I learned about ninite, I saw peazip and never looked back.
With the soon to be supported .rar on windows 11 I might do away with it but I feel peazip works faster.
Use PeaZip
The built in zip support in windows is super slow. I wonder if they will improve it when rar support comes.
