PeaExtractor, derived from the PeaZip project, focuses solely on decompressing archive files in the shortest, simplest way, and provides a minimal, very intuitive GUI, requiring little user interaction.
This is unlike full-featured archive managers such as: 7-Zip, PeaZip, WinZip, WinRar, which provide a more Explorer-like GUI (with file compression and archive browsing/search features etc).
PeaExtractor works with same 150+ archive types as PeaZip: 7z, ace, cab, iso, paq, rar, tar, zip, zipx, etc, including encrypted archives (password protected) and spanned multi-volume files (.000, .001, .r01, .z01...)
7-Zip is a file archiver featuring a high compression ratio to extract or create compressed files in multiple formats. 7-Zip is free, open-source software with open source under the GNU LGPL license. Portable version is also available.
PeaZip is an Open Source file manager or file archiver that can open all popular compression types (over 200), including ZIP, ZIPX, RAR, 7Z, DMG, ACE, CAB, TAR, and ISO.
WinZip brings the convenience of Windows to Zip files and other compression formats making it a snap to zip/unzip files for fast, efficient, and secure uploading/downloading, emailing, and storage.
