PowerArchiver is a Windows utility for creating, opening and managing compressed files. It is suited to people who exchange archives with colleagues, need to unpack files in different formats, or want compression, encryption and backup tools in one application. Alongside common ZIP files, it handles formats used for software distribution, disk images and compressed backups.
For creating archives, PowerArchiver supports ZIP and ZIPX as well as 7-Zip, ISO, CAB and TAR. ZIPX offers additional compression methods, including LZMA, JPEG, PPMd, BZIP2 and WAVPACK. Its multicore compression engine can use multiple processor cores when creating ZIP or ZIPX files, while broad ZIP compatibility helps recipients open archives in other archiving tools. The program can also extract RAR 5.x files and open more than 30 archive formats, making it useful when files arrive in unfamiliar containers.
Security tools let users encrypt files in ZIP, ZIPX, 7z and PAE archives with AES encryption. PowerArchiver also includes OpenPGP support for working with encrypted files. For transferring data, it provides an Outlook add-in and secure FTP features. These options can be used to package files for email or send them to a remote server without relying on a separate compression tool for each step.
The application includes a standalone backup tool with logging, FTP and SFTP support, and disc-burning features. Volume Shadow Copy Service support allows it to access certain files that are in use by another application, such as Outlook PST files or databases, for archiving or backup. Windows User Account Control elevation can request administrator access when a task needs to read or write in a protected folder. These functions make PowerArchiver relevant to both everyday file exchange and more involved backup routines.
PowerArchiver is trialware from ConeXware Inc. It supports Windows XP through Windows 10, including listed 64-bit editions of Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8, and is available in several languages, including English, German, French, Spanish and Russian. Its Windows integration includes taskbar progress and jump lists on supported systems. The program combines file compression, extraction, encryption, transfer and backup features, so it can serve as a general archive manager as well as a tool for handling protected or in-use files.
