PeaZip Software has announced the release of PeaExtractor, a PeaZip spinoff which can extract the contents from 150+ archive types: 7Z, ACE, BZ2, CAB, GZ, ISO, RAR, TAR, ZIP and more.

The program can’t create archives, it’s strictly about extraction only, keeping the entire process as quick and beginner-friendly as possible.

This could be as simple as dragging and dropping your file onto the PeaExtractor window, and clicking OK. By default the contents of your archive will be extracted to the same folder.

PeaExtractor is designed to keep user prompts to an absolute minimum. As you can see.

That’s not quite the end of the story. The PeaExtractor dialog provides further options to specify a password or keyfile, extract the files to a new folder, or define what happens if some of the files already exist (you can ignore, rename or overwrite them).

The program also supports a simple context menu. Right-click an archive and you can extract it to the current folder, or another of your choice.

There’s nothing here for experienced users, but PeaExtractor’s simple interface makes it ideal for novices, the extraction engine is a good one, and there’s no adware to get in your way.
