FreeArc (Freeware)

 






           Third ranker, FreeArc again freeware compressing/archiving tool with PeaZip User Interface. Best part of this tool is according to our testing we found it quite faster than above two. All Features are almost identical to above tools the only point where it stands aside is Encryption provided, it supports AES/Blowfish/Twofish/Serpent . but due other downsides of it like no support for 64bit and lack of support  multi-volume archives , it stands at third position in our list.


Supported OS: Windows, Linux.

WinRAR(Shareware)

 







         Fourth runner-up WinRAR ,though it is not freeware li ke above three. But due to its Extensive User Interface covering novice/intermediate/advance user makes it stand in our list. It supports RAR and ZIP for packing/unpacking and CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, ACE, UUE, BZ2, JAR, ISO, 7Z, Z archives for unpacking. With support for AES encryption and ability to create self extracting and multi-volume archives. According to its developers it could support archives up to 8,589 billion gigabytes in size sounds interesting.


Supported OS: Windows.

Universal Extractor(Freeware):

 



 

                 Last in our List , Univeral Extractor . As the name suggest it is only unpacking tool , sounds weird what this tool is doing here if it can only unpack, right ? but wait a sec it can unpack virtually any archives, self extracting EXE sufficient and the only interesting features about it.
   
Supported OS: Windows.
