PowerArchiver is a file compression and archive-management program for users who need to package files, open archives received from others, or protect data before sharing it. It creates archives in formats including ZIP, ZIPX, 7-Zip, ISO, CAB and TAR, and can open more than 30 formats. Its broad format support makes it useful for exchanging compressed files with colleagues and other people using different archive tools.
For everyday compression, PowerArchiver can create standard ZIP files as well as ZIPX archives, which support methods such as LZMA, JPEG, PPMd, BZIP2 and WavPack. Its multicore compression engines can use multiple processor cores for ZIP and ZIPX work. Users can also extract RAR archives, including RAR 5.x files, and convert archives between supported formats to suit a recipient or a particular workflow. Compression is useful for reducing the size of files before sending or storing them, though the amount saved depends on the contents.
The program includes encryption for ZIP, ZIPX, 7z and PAE files, along with OpenPGP support. AES encryption is available for ZIP and ZIPX archives, with FIPS 140-2 validation noted for its encryption support. These options let users secure archives containing confidential material before transferring them. An Outlook add-in supports working with compressed attachments from Microsoft Outlook, while Secure FTP provides a way to transfer files through the program.
PowerArchiver also includes a standalone backup application with features such as Volume Shadow Copy Service support, Secure FTP, disc burning and logs. VSS can help a backup or archive operation access files that are in use, such as Outlook PST files or database files. Windows UAC elevation support allows the program to request administrator access when it needs permission to read or write in protected folders. Together, these tools cover routine archiving as well as file exchange and backup tasks.
PowerArchiver is trialware and supports Windows versions from XP through Windows 10, including 64-bit editions where indicated. The interface is available in English, German, French, Spanish, Italian, Brazilian Portuguese, Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian and Polish. Its combination of archive creation, extraction, encryption, transfer and backup functions makes it suited to home and business users handling files in several formats.
