PeaZip 3.4 Portable [x32/x64]

PeaZip is an archiver tool supporting its native Pea archive format which sports options like compression, split volumes, and flexible encryption and integrity check algorithms as well as other mainstream formats.

PeaZip allows to edit, save and restore archive's layouts; apply powerful multiple filters to archive's content; handle multiple archives at once; export job definition as command line; encrypt with AES256 etc.

PeaZip's UI aims giving aid to the user to: edit, save and restore layout of archives (input files and folders list) to speed up definition of archiving and backup operations; save job definition, as plain text, to be used in scripts or for learning purpose; have a detailed job log after each operation.

The interface is fully skinnable (skins can be customised and saved as plain text to be re-edited as freely as possible) and uses customisable transparency.

Full support: 7Z, 7-Zip sfx, Bzip2, Gzip, PEA, split TAR and ZIP.

Browse/test/extract-only support for ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, ISO, LZH, NSIS installers, OOo files, RAR, RPM, Z.
