Of course most of the archive/zip ui tools out there would support tar files anyway. The main downside is that tar files are less common on windows and the whole double file extension thing confuses people with file managers that hide them (i.e. It supports a few more compression algorithms of course. I'd probably use tar with bzip2, 7zip, or even gzip compression.
I'm old enough to remember PKZip being a new thing :-).įor as an actual backup format, tar is a common alternative. With zip files this also used to be a thing that some tools supported. Less of an issue these days but of course browsers don't support this. That is convenient when downloading over a slow/unstable connection (or if you don't know how to resume an aborted download with wget or ftp). This used to be common with rar and I think 7zip also supports this. Where things get tricky is splitting the resulting archive in multiple files.
Released as LGPLv3 software for GNU/Linux, Darwin / macOS and BSD, Microsoft Windows (32 and 64 bit), ReactOS and Wine.I think for the common use case of distributing giga bytes of data in a reasonably efficient way, 7zip is fine (e.g. The program provides strong encryption with optional two factor authentication (encrypt with password and keyfile), encrypted password manager, random password / keyfile generation, secure data deletion (files, folders, free disk space), hashing and checksum functions. Open, browse, decompress/extract RAR / RAR5, ACE, APPX, APK, ARJ, CAB, DMG, IPA, ISO, JAR, LHA, MSI, UDF, ZIPX files and more.īuilt-in archive conversion: convert or consolidate existing archives, from any read-supported to any write-supported type, e.g. PeaZip is a file manager and archive manager utility (compress and decompress files, edit existing archives, backup data), focused on security and data protection, Free Software replacement for WinRar, WinZip, and similar applications.Ĭreate (compress to) 7Z, Brotli, BZip2, GZip, PAQ, PEA, RAR (if Rar.exe is available), TAR, WIM, XZ (LZMA2), ZIP, Zstandard files, SFX self-extracting archives, and spanned archives (001 split files) The new release continues the path of improvement of the app's GUI, with better organized archiving and extraction options, improved file manager, and refreshed themes.Īlso, the source package was re-organized for being easier to use, with better examples for building and packaging PeaZip from sources.Ī total of 226 file extensions can now be managed by PeaZip.
