    .PA Advanced Codec Pack (.PA) – most advanced compression format

    PowerArchiver includes exclusive the Advanced Codec Pack (.PA), which is the most comprehensive compression format available today. It includes many different filters and codecs that work transparently to create the best possible compression/speed ratio for your files. Smart Optimized modes select the best compression/speed ratios on per-file basis, increasing compression rate and speed. In one compression scenario, PowerArchiver will use multiple codecs for different files/extensions! This provides much better compression rate/speed since we can target codecs better.

    • Two base modes: Optimized Fast and Optimized Strong deliver the fastest/strongest compression in the industry.
    • Smart Optimized modes select the best compression/speed ratios on per-file basis,
      increasing compression rate and speed. In one compression scenario, PowerArchiver can use multiple codecs for different files/extensions! This provides much better compression/speed since we can target codecs better.
    • Optimized Fast – fast compression modes with 50MBs-400MBs compression speeds, depending on files and strength chosen. Data deduplication features and compression stronger than zip format. PowerArchiver 2023 - New Interface
    • Optimized Strong – Strong compression features at reasonable speeds even at Extreme level. Optimized for processors with 4 or more threads. Supports multicore extraction and data deduplication. Special coders for stronger levels delivering better compression than comparable options in competing software and formats.
    • PDF, DOCX and PNG compression – compress your PDF and DOCX (Office) files between 30%
      and 70% better than WinRAR, WinZip and 7zip. Also used for PNG, APK, ZIP and other files with deflate streams.
    • FIPS 140-2 256-bit AES encryption – Advanced Codec Pack (.PA) is very secure. Not only do we use FIPS 140-2 validated encryption components, we also apply a special transformation filter that ensures that the data being encrypted does not have any LZ compression markers that could make brute-force attacks easier. We consider it considerably more secure than encryption methods available in ZIP and RAR formats.
    • JPEG codec – uses Lepton compression for jpeg files, strong compression up to 23%.
    • MP3 codec – Strongest and fastest MP3 compression codec on the market with full multi-core support. Better compression and up to 3x faster speeds than WinZIP MP3 compression.
    • Special Deduplication filter – fast filter that finds similar data at 50MB/s speeds (single thread). Works great for files with similar data, for instance when backing up your office files, this filter should increase compression ratios significantly. Compressing Software ISO’s with deduplication filter can lower the size by
      extra 500MB compared to WR, WZ, 7-zip (ex. Office 2016 ISO as 2.25GB in size), with
      super-fast compression!
    • Special codec for compressing txt/html/xhtml files. Better compression at faster speeds, multi-core optimized.
    • Special exe/dll filters – collection of special filters that improves
      compression up to 10-15% for exe/dll files. Super fast!
    • Multi-core extraction – Most codecs have multi-thread support based on our mtwrap which automatically gives you multi-threaded extraction. This means that extraction is also fast despite use of advanced and strong compression.
    • Custom compression profiles – Extensive support for custom compression profiles that let you configure 20+ codec options thus making sure you can setup special case scenarios that work the best for your own data.
    • Actively developed in-house, with frequent updates and new future codecs,
      optimizations and more. Currently over 10 filters/codecs are transparently used at the same time depending on file and options selected.
      .

    Full Windows XP/7/8/10 Support, UAC and VSS

    • Full Windows XP, Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 support with jump lists, taskbar progress and taskbar icon overlays. First archiver to do so.You do not need to worry about compatibility problems with PowerArchiver if you are using or considering upgrading to Windows 7, Windows 8 and Windows 10 – we have done extensive testing to ensure everything works perfectly. PowerArchiver also runs great on all other Windows versions, from Windows 2000 to Windows Windows 10 and Server 2016, both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.PowerArchiver 2023 - New Interface
    • UAC elevation support – PowerArchiver supports UAC (user access control) elevation to administrator when it detects the need for admin account in order to read or write in some folder. This works in Windows Explorer shell extensions as well so you can click on file anywhere on your disk, and compression/extraction will work.
    • VSS support – Do you need to compress databases, Outlook .pst files, or any other files that are exclusively used by some application? No problem for PowerArchiver – we have exclusive support for VSS (volume shadow support), which is usually used only by enterprise backups to access data that is not accessible to other programs.

    Most Advanced ZIP/ZIPX Engine

    ZIP Support PowerArchiver offers superior ZIP and ZIPX format support compared to other archivers. Here are the highlights:

    • Multicore deflate zip engine, almost 4x faster than single core systems on quad core computers.
    • Improved speed of zip compression and extraction on any occasion.
    • Full support for advanced ZIPX format – LZMA, LZMA2, JPEG, PPMd, BZIP2 and WAVPACK in ZIP/ZIPX, according to latest ZIP standards. PowerArchiver is the only application that fully supports Winzip 15 and earlier files, while providing faster (up to 3x) and stronger compression compared to WinZip 15.
    • Full support for more basic ZIP format that is compatible with all archivers out there, as well as the built-in Windows XP/Vista/7/10 zip reader.PowerArchiver 2023 - New Interface
    • JPEG support – Unique and rare support for extraction of ZIPX JPEG compression created by WinZIP.
    • Unlimited size of the archive, unlimited size of files inside archive and unlimited number of files inside archive.
    • Multicore LZMA engine for ZIP/ZIPX.
    • Support for Unicode in ZIP, both read and write. Implemented throughout application.
    • ZIP/ZIPX AES support (both PkZip 5.1 and WZ 9.0 standards supported) – Supports AES 128, AES 192 and AES 256.FIPS 140-2 Validated and thus approved for use in Government offices.
    • SecureZip compatibility – only archiver fully compatible with SecureZip, including reading 3DES encrypted archives and ZIP/ZIPX archives encrypted with digital certificates.
    • Multiple disk spanning, with support for unlimited span sizes

    7-Zip Compression

    7-Zip is an advanced compression format featured in PowerArchiver. It is an open source format, providing an open architecture and high compression ratio. 7-Zip outperforms ZIP, ACE and even RAR in many tests. However, 7-Zip’s greatest strength is that it is not controlled by any organization or individual, but by an open source LGPL project to which anyone can contribute. More information on 7-Zip and its superior compression can be found at 7-Zip.org.
    PowerArchiver also features a Transparent Update feature for 7-Zip archives, which allows you to quickly add or remove files even if the archive is “Solid”. PowerArchiver supports all 7zip methods, including LZMA2. Another unique feature to PowerArchiver is Optimized compression method where PowerArchiver picks different compression method based on your strength setting as well as file type for maximum speed/compression ratio.

    Superior RAR support – including 5.x format

    Our engineers have spent months of development time to custom tune extraction of RAR archives. End result is that we now have the fastest RAR extraction engine on the market. Full support for RAR 5.x Format. If you have WinRAR installed (and licensed), PowerArchiver will use it to create RAR archives (both 4.x and 5.x). You can customize RAR options in the Configuration section, adding your own switches for compression options in RAR.

    Multiple Format Support – Including ISO (over 60 formats!)

    PowerArchiver has native support for most the popular compressed and encoded formats currently in use. All formats are fully integrated into PowerArchiver, so you can utilize all PowerArchiver tools with each of them.

You can preview images and documents in archives without having to extract them to your hard drive!

    Queue System (Add/Extract/Backup) and PowerArchiver Starter

    PowerArchiver features an innovative Queue System. This is the first time such an option is available in a compression utility, and it enables you to better organize your compression, extraction and backups, as well as schedule multiple jobs to be done sequentially without slowing down your system – as multiple compression jobs would do if run all at once. Another first for PowerArchiver.
    PowerArchiver Starter is a brand new system tray application for managing your Queue and launching the most recently used archives and backups. PowerArchiver Starter has been written in an assembler-like language for minimum size and memory usage.

    Guaranteed Compatibility and Explorer Integration
