Irrespective of whether you are tight on space or perhaps you need to send numerous files, archiving suite are one of the basic programs to have on your computer. Problems, however, can arise when you are sending archives to users who do not use the same packer as you.

PeaExtractor Portable is a lightweight piece of software that enables you to unpack a wide variety of archive formats and decrypts multiple cryptography standards.

Using the program is as simple as it gets and you can seamlessly unpack the content of any archive in just a few easy steps.

You can extract archives by dragging and dropping them over the executable or, alternatively, in the dedicated window.

Afterwards, you can specify the output directory, select the desired naming policies and type in the password, if the archive is protected by a passkey. If the file features a two-factor authentication encryption, then you can activate the keyfile option as well. Confirm the decompression and the application does the rest automatically.

You will be happy to learn that the utility supports a broad range of formats, including but not limited to ACE, 7z, RAR, ZIP, ISO, TAR, CAB, ZIPX, PEA or spanned multi-volume archives such as 001, R01, Z01, so on and so forth. If you come across unknown formats and variants, then you can attempt to access them via this tool.

As a side note, you should know that the utility comes with an extra tool that permits you to perform a checksum and hash test on the archives you want to extract. Consequentially, you can verify if the files you received contain malware or have been tampered with.
