The program is written in Lazarus / FreePascal (Windows installable packages are scripted with InnoSetup) and offers a LGPLv3 alternative to proprietary software (WinZip, WinRar, etc), running as native application on Windows/Win64, Wine/ReactOS, and Linux x86/x86-64, with Linux ARM and BSD ports also available. PeaZip is Free Software, employing technologies from state of art 7-Zip, p7zip, Brotli, FreeArc, PAQ, PEA, Zstandard open source file compression and archiving projects. We recommend the open-source 7-Zip tool instead. PeaZip is a free file and archive manager, based on solid and proven Open Source technology of 7-Zip for handling mainstream archive formats, and other great Open Source tools (like FreeARC, PAQ.
WinZip costs a minimum of 30, while WinRAR costs 29. These tools are commercial software applications that nag you to spend money rather than just doing their job and getting out of the way.

The project aims to provide a cross-platform, portable, GUI frontend for multiple Open Source technologies (7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, PEA, UPX) focused on file and archive management, and security (strong encryption, two factor authentication, encrypted password manager, secure delete). WinZip and WinRAR may be household names, but we recommend against using them.
