PowerArchiver is a file compression and archive management program for creating, opening and converting compressed files. It is suited to users who need to package folders for storage or sharing, inspect archives received from others, or work with several archive formats in one desktop application. Its tools also cover ISO images, backups and file transfer, extending its use beyond basic compression.
The program creates ZIP and ZIPX archives as well as TAR, GZ, BZ2 and CAB files, and can open these and many other formats, including RAR and ISO. ZIPX supports compression methods such as LZMA, JPEG, PPMd, BZIP2 and WavPack. For everyday exchange, standard ZIP provides a broadly compatible option; ZIPX offers additional methods when the recipient's software supports them. Unicode handling helps preserve filenames written in different scripts, while encryption options protect supported ZIP and ZIPX archives with passwords.
Multicore compression uses more than one processor core for supported ZIP and LZMA operations, which can reduce the time needed to create large archives on multicore computers. PowerArchiver can also extract RAR files and convert archives between supported formats, making it useful when a recipient or workflow requires a different format. A preview window lets users inspect archive contents before extracting them, and ISO tools can create or mount disc images. The built-in burner handles CD, DVD and Blu-ray media.
Additional tools support backup tasks and file movement. The advanced backup feature can package files for safekeeping, while Volume Shadow Copy Service support can access files that are in use by applications, such as Outlook data files or databases. An integrated FTP client provides a way to transfer files to and from FTP servers. When an operation needs administrator access to a protected location, the program can request elevation through Windows User Account Control.
PowerArchiver is commercial trialware from ConeXware Inc. Its interface is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish. The program combines archive creation and extraction with conversion, image handling, backup and transfer features; users should check that their Windows version is supported before installing, as compatibility depends on the edition in use.
