PowerArchiver offers hundreds of features, yet remains easy to use, small and fast. Novice users will find a familiar interface complete with tutorial and detailed help, while more experienced users can take advantage of full Explorer integration, multiple encryption methods and advanced compression algorithms.
PowerArchiver is an
awardwinning archive utility for the Windows? family that provides support for most compressed and encoded files, as well as access to many powerful features and tools through an easy to use interface that seamlessly integrates with Windows Explorer. PowerArchiver enables you to create ISO images, either by ripping the CD/DVD/BD with
Disc Grabber, or directly with files from your hard disk. With PowerArchivers Virtual Drive feature, you can also mount .ISO images into Windows so they appear like a normal drive and you can browse inside.
In addition to creating and mounting .ISO images, you can now burn archives, images and any files directly from PowerArchiver or
via Explorer Shell Extensions to a CD, DVD or Bluray disc. Once youre done, you can verify the burned files to make sure everything was burned correctly and without errors.
