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.

    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!

    Another pro is that PeaZip is multi platform and could be used in MacOS and GNU/Linux.

    It support zip, rar, 7z. Basically all archive formats. It has way better UI. It is open source. It is free in beer.
