PowerArchiver 2015 15.00.41

With the amount of compression tools available on the market nowadays, the choice mostly relies on the one you consider suits you best. Amongst them, PowerArchiver wants to stand out in the crowd by providing a rich set of tools with which to do exactly what the name suggests.
Suitable for beginners and experts alike

The interface mostly contains elements you find in any common compression tool. Before you run it the first time, you can choose whether or not to enable advanced options, but this option can be toggled later on from the options menu.
Gets the job done well and fast

Taking it for a spin might leave you impressed, as it manages to quickly compress and extract files of various sizes and formats. In our tests, we managed to pull files from a 2.5 GB archive somewhere around a minute, with a moderate amount of system resources used.
Rich context menu options

You can easily manage archiving options without keeping the main window on your desktop thanks to options integrated in the context menu, such as compress to ZIP or 7z and encrypt, send to cloud, FTP it, compress ISO and a lot more.
Batch process and convert files

The application gives you the possibility to process multiple files at a time, be it compression or extraction. Moreover, an integrated converter lets you quickly load nearly any existing archive format and transform it into a commonly used one for ease of access.
Full support for cloud services

Sharing also becomes easy while using the application. You can connect to a FTP server and have files transferred. Backups can be created for safety, and you can even set up your preferred cloud service in order to synchronize it with your computer through PowerArchiver.
Store your data on compact disks

In addition, the application comes equipped with a file burner for even more sharing possibilities. It lets you easily store your files on a CD / DVD, or even have image files created and managed with virtual drive support.
