The latest release of PeaZip (32-bit) on October 7, 2020, brings some performance improvements and bug fixes. Great to see the developers actively improving the software!
I've tried other file compression tools before, but PeaZip remains my favorite. It's reliable, free, and open-source!
PeaZip also has a portable version, which doesn't require installation. It's perfect for carrying on a USB drive and using it on different computers.
That's a great point, Emily! The portable version of PeaZip is really convenient for users who are always on the go.
I didn't know about the portable version. Thanks for the information, Emily and David!

It's quite simple, Daniel! During installation, you can choose to add 'Add to context menu' option for PeaZip. Once enabled, you can right-click on files or folders to compress or extract with PeaZip.
I'm considering switching from my current compression tool to PeaZip. Are there any downsides or limitations I should be aware of?
Emma, one thing to note is that PeaZip (32-bit) is designed specifically for Windows operating system. So, if you're using a different OS, you'll need to look for the appropriate version.
That's a good point, Brian. PeaZip also supports 64-bit versions for Windows, so make sure to download the correct one for your system.
Emma, another limitation is that PeaZip doesn't support some proprietary file formats, like RAR. However, it can still extract them if you have other archiving tools installed on your system.
PeaZip is a great tool, but sometimes I find the interface a bit overwhelming with so many options and settings.
Victoria, you can customize the interface and hide the options you don't frequently use. That way, you can create a simpler and more streamlined experience.
Thanks for the suggestion, Emily! I'll give it a try and see if it improves my overall user experience with PeaZip.
Has anyone tried PeaZip on older Windows versions, like Windows 7 or Windows XP?
David, I've used PeaZip on Windows 7 without any issues. However, I believe it's no longer officially supported on Windows XP.
One feature I really appreciate in PeaZip is the ability to convert archives from one format to another. It saves a lot of time when dealing with different compression formats.

Yes, Brian! PeaZip supports multi-volume archives and can seamlessly handle split parts of a large archive.
I had a question about PeaZip's integration with cloud storage services. Can it directly compress or extract files from services like Dropbox or Google Drive?
Victoria, currently PeaZip doesn't have built-in integration with cloud storage services. However, you can manually download/upload files between your local drive and the cloud storage, and then perform compression/extraction with PeaZip.
I love that PeaZip is open-source. It gives users confidence in knowing that the software is actively developed, and its source code is open for scrutiny.
PeaZip is a feature-packed utility, but it still manages to maintain a small installation size. It doesn't take up much disk space.
Daniel, that's true. PeaZip's small size is a significant advantage, especially for users with limited storage space.
Victoria, the small installation size also makes PeaZip a suitable choice for users who prefer lightweight software without compromising functionality.
PeaZip supports more than just file compression. It also offers tools for secure file deletion, hashing, and checksum verification.
