PowerArchiver contains all the basic features you would expect from a
compression program / archive utility - you can read and extract from
many different formats and you can also create archives in many
different formats, including 7-Zip which is one of the best compression
formats currently used. What makes PowerArchiver different from many
similar utilities is the wealth of advanced features it has. Simply put,
PowerArchiver is one of the most innovative utilities of its kind and
many features you now take for granted in a compression utility were
first offered in PowerArchiver.
PowerArchiver 2013 Changes:
• Full OpenPGP support via Encryption Suite – Full support for OpenPGP
format. From encrypting/decrypting files to creating/importing/exporting
OpenPGP keys. PowerArchiver can encrypt any archive with OpenPGP format
and then Add/Delete/Edit files inside transparently, without need to go
through several steps as with competing products..
• PowerArchiver Cloud – PowerArchiver Cloud can Download/Upload/Add
files/archives from following business/SOHO cloud services: Amazon S3
and Microsoft Azure; consumer level cloud services like: Dropbox, Google
Drive, Box.net, Microsoft SkyDrive as well as our own experimental
AttachmentCloud service..
• More Advanced Modern/Ribbon Interface – New Windows 8/Office 2013
inspired skin makes PowerArchiver interface look stunning, while making
it easier to use. Truly best of both worlds. Classic toolbar option
still remains, now with improved loading speed.
• RAR 5 format support – PowerArchiver can open and extract RAR 5.x
files. Of course, you can even create/edit them if you configure rar.exe
to be used within PowerArchiver!
• Significantly Faster ZIP engine – Our advanced multi-core ZIP/ZIPX
engine has been optimized for maximum speed, now up to 30-50% faster
than WinZip’s multi-core engine (and much much faster than SecureZIP’s
and WinRAR’s ZIP engines), while providing similar compressing strength.
• Power saving mode for ZIP engine – ZIP/ZIPX engine has been optimized
to spend less CPU power when your laptop is in power saving mode.
PowerArchiver will take up significantly less CPU when you have power
saving mode, while still being quicker than competition, thus saving
your battery while you are on the road.
