PeaZip 64-bit is an amazing Zip/Unzip software, and Rar file extractor and converter, supporting over 150 archive formats. PeaZip is a freeware WinZip and WinRar alternative providing a complete and elegant general-purpose file archiver and File Manager Utility for Windows, Linux, and BSD.

The program features a powerful unified cross-platform GUI providing the same look and feel under all supported operating systems, and unlike most of the other classic archive managers, it is natively portable. PeaZip 64-bit project is based on the solid and proven technology of 7-Zip project for handling many mainstream archive formats, and other great Open Source file compression tools (FreeARC, PAQ, UPX) for supporting additional file formats and features, and comes localized in 29 languages.

Alongside data compression and decompression, the file manager component supports search, bookmarks, use of online cloud disk services, batch rename, view and edit images (resize, optimize, convert), verify hash and checksum, find duplicate files, update existing archives, and try to open/analyze custom file types as archives. The application is especially focused on security: strong encryption of archives, optional two-factor authentication, encrypted password manager, secure data deletion, integration with antivirus and anti-malware for scanning compressed files, etc... Tasks created in the GUI can be saved and scheduled as batch scripts, i.e. to help automate backup / restore operations, or for fine-tuning tasks using the flexibility of console.

What's new in this version:

Code:
- project_pea and project_peach updated to optimization and debugging project-level options recommended for Lazarus 3.x line
- Optimized app startup reducing 25% time and 20% memory usage
- Various fixes

File manager:
- Auto browse TAR inside compressed TAR archives now can be limited to max size (100 MB, 1 GB, 10 GB, Always) in order to avoid automatic time consuming operation
- Can now save list of files/search results as csv (with , and ; separator), tsv, and txt
- Improved "Analyze content of folders" function, now reporting content size in separate column to allow sorting for smallest/largest folder
- Improved handling archives with errors, or containing extra data, i.e. container formats which are variants of archive formats
- With Options > Settings > Archive manager, "Browse non-canonical archive types" option flagged (default) the app will always try to open for browsing such archives
- Unflagging this option stops the app from browsing archives if errors are detected, which may be more safe, but is less flexible in terms of handling/recovering data
- More cases of warnings and errors are recognized and shown (warning icon in the navigation bar) for file formats supported through the 7z/p7zip backend

- New Tux-Alt theme for alternative look&feel on Linux systems
- (Windows) Improved rendering of exe files' icons

- Added warning to prevent creation of archives using non-ASCII characters if not supported by the format (or otherwise not supported due to technical limitations)
- Fixed Windows drag and drop extraction not correctly communicating non-ASCII characters in passwords through pipe
- When directly sending items to compression without confirmation, file spanning (if set) is automatically disabled for the current operation
- Added support for VmWare .ova files, and Minecraft archive file types .mcaddon, .mcmeta, .mcpack, .mcproject, .mcstructure, .mctemplate, .mcworld (242 file extensions supported)
