What is it?

PeaZip is an open-source archive manager for BSD, Linux, macOS and Windows that can also run as a portable package without installation. It opens and creates archives in more than 200 formats, including 7z, RAR, ZIP/ZIPX, TAR, ISO, Zstandard and Brotli, and handles multi-part spanned archives.

Beyond compression and extraction, it can convert archives, split and join files, edit comments, search inside archives and add files to separate archives. It supports several archive encryption standards, offers file hashing tools, and can export GUI tasks as command-line scripts. The built-in file manager adds bookmarks, content filtering, duplicate file detection and text, hex and image viewers.

PeaZip is written in Lazarus/Free Pascal and distributed under the LGPL-3.0 license. It offers native builds for x86-64 and aarch64 systems, and the Windows build is also compatible with Wine.
