Thanks! I’ve been happy with 7-Zip for Windows, but what you’re describing sound like an upgrade with few downsides, if any. I’ll try it next time I get the chance!
Well these benchmarks might seem a bit biased, since they are made by the dev, but I took the time to read them, and they seem very neutral and unbiased.
I used winrar at first, but never truly trusted 7zip. Didn’t like the way it looked. Then first time I learned about ninite, I saw peazip and never looked back.
With the soon to be supported .rar on windows 11 I might do away with it but I feel peazip works faster.
PeaZip is GOAT software. Truly amazing.
How does it compare to 7-Zip?
They are basically a vitamined frontend + custom backend for 7zip-zstd supporting several other formats such as lzip.

Another pro is that PeaZip is multi platform and could be used in MacOS and GNU/Linux.
7-Zip is multi platform too
Yeah, but on Linux/MacOS doesn’t have a GUI ಥ_ಥ
That version is not official. Was a rework made by an external user.
I remember the main author was trying to rework their custom version but yes, no GUI.

It support zip, rar, 7z. Basically all archive formats. It has way better UI. It is open source. It is free in beer.
It is free as in speech. Your phrase refers to proprietary yet no cost software.
Free as in freedom is not a big argument for most people. But as in beer 😏
This!

The built in zip support in windows is super slow. I wonder if they will improve it when rar support comes.
Use PeaZip
