ConeXware PowerArchiver

Software Overview

ConeXware PowerArchiver is a utility for compressing, encrypting, and backing up data in Windows and macOS. The utility supports over 60 archive formats, provides advanced compression and encryption methods, and allows you to share compressed files quickly. It is available in Standard, Professional, and Toolbox editions, with each edition offering more advanced features than the last. Additionally, the Windows version of PowerArchiver provides significantly more features than the Mac version.

PowerArchiver features read and write support of various compression formats, including ZIP, ZIPX, 7-Zip, Tar, GZIP, and their proprietary Advanced Codec Pack (.PA) format. Additionally, the utility provides read and extract support for the RAR, ARC, and XAR formats. You can also extend PowerArchiver's range of supported formats by installing plugins.

The utility offers multicore compression, quick RAR extraction, full OpenPGP support, and FIPS 140-2 validation for securing and encrypting your files. PowerArchiver also lets you directly send and open your compressed files to and from different cloud services, such as DropBox and Google Drive.

PowerArchiver is a competent file compression program for Windows users (it is not as robust for Mac users). It offers support for various compression formats, secure file encryption, handy archiving tools, and convenient archive sharing. While the utility faces stiff competition from the more popular WinZip program and free 7-ZIP utility, ConeXware PowerArchiver is still an attractive option for compressing and decompressing archives.
