PeaZip, an open-source file and archive manager, is available. It is freeware and available for free for any purpose.
PeaZip can extract almost all archive formats from Windows and Unix, including the mainstream 7Z, RAR and ZIP, as well as experimental ones like the PAQ/LPAQ family. This is currently the most powerful compressor on the market.
PeaZip supports secure deletion, file checksum verification and hashing, multiple strong encryption standards and optionally two factor authentication (password or keyfile) for added security.
PeaZip supports many encryption and compression standards for archive creation. These include the fastest and most powerful. You can also export job definitions as scripts, which bridges the gap between console and GUI apps. This allows you to choose the best of both.
