PeaZip is an open source OS-portable file archiver, released under LGPL for Microsoft Windows and Linux. It supports its native Pea archive format (featuring compression, multi volume split and flexible authenticated encryption and integrity check schemes) and other mainstream formats, with especial focus on handling open formats.

PeaZip's UI aims giving aid to the user to:
- edit, save and restore layout of archives 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.
Browsing and selective partial extraction and listing of 7z-supported archives is implemented with two alternative mechanism: a navigational browser (featuring also an optional flat mode) and an advanced filtering mechanism allowing multiple inclusion and exclusion filters; PAQ* archives can be browsed by PeaZip in flat mode, the browser displaying at once all the objects into the archive.
PeaZip's most used functions are also available, in Windows installable version, from "SendTo" menu, allowing to: send files to .7z, .pea and .zip archives, encrypt multiple files and folders (.pea encrypted archive, with optional two factor authentication), split files, extract, list or test multiple archives (even of different types) at once.
The interface is fully skinnable in colors (and, on Windows, transparency); skins can be customised and saved as plain text to be re-edited and shared as freely as possible.
PeaZip acts as a graphic frontend for:
- Pea executable (graphical) from the same Author;
- Igor Pavlov's 7z executable and Myspace's POSIX port of 7z under Linux (see 7-zip);
- PAQ8 executables: Matt Mahoney’s PAQ8F and PAQ8L, Bill Pettis's PAQ8JD;
- Ilia Muraviev's QUAD [1]
- GNU strip [2] and UPX
which are included in the program’s package and ready to use; the program doesn't need to be installed/unistalled, it can run from any path, even remote. However, a writeable path is recommended to allow keeping a peristent randomness collector.
7z and PAQ* can run in console mode or trough a graphical wrapper which allows more user-friendly handling of output information. Self-extracting archives are supported, built using 7-Zip's sfx modules with custom icons and compressed with UPX in order to minimize the overhead added to the archive.
PeaZip is developed using Lazarus IDE, in FreePascal language.
