Ark als Linux-Alternative zu PeaZip

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Ark is a solid replacement for PeaZip for users who already use KDE or prefer a single‑pane UI. It supports the main archive formats (ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2) and offers context‑menu integration, drag‑and‑drop, batch operations, and file preview. It does not create or extract PEA archives, lacks a dedicated checksumming tool, and its encryption options are limited to standard ZIP/7z methods. For users who need PEA support or advanced checksum verification, Ark falls short.

Managing archives with Ark

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Both are free, open‑source archive managers supporting ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR and other common formats.
  • Both provide context‑menu actions in file managers and support drag‑and‑drop.
  • Both allow batch compression/extraction and offer a command‑line wrapper (PeaZip’s "pea" and Ark’s "ark").
  • Both can preview file contents inside an archive without extracting.

Was anders ist

  • Ark cannot create or extract PEA archives, which PeaZip can.
  • Ark lacks a built‑in checksumming/verification tool; PeaZip can calculate MD5/SHA checksums for archives.
  • Ark’s encryption options are limited to ZIP/7z password protection; PeaZip supports AES‑256 encryption in many formats.
  • Ark does not support splitting/merging archives into parts; PeaZip can split archives into multiple volumes.

Ihre PeaZip-Dateien öffnen

Ark can open most standard archives that PeaZip handles, including ZIP, RAR, 7z, TAR, GZIP, and BZIP2. It cannot open or export PEA archives because that format is specific to PeaZip. For PEA files, you would need to keep PeaZip or convert them to a more common format first.

Von PeaZip zu Ark wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Install Ark via your distribution’s package manager (e.g., sudo apt install ark).
  2. Add Ark to your file manager’s context menu if not already present.
  3. Use Ark’s "Open" dialog to load existing archives; for PEA files, first convert them with PeaZip or a third‑party tool.
  4. Configure Ark’s preferences for default compression level, encryption, and split size.
  5. Use Ark’s batch extraction/compression features for large sets of files.

Häufige Fragen

Does Ark support password‑protected archives?

Yes, Ark can create and open password‑protected ZIP and 7z archives using AES‑256 encryption. It does not support the more advanced encryption options available in PeaZip.

Can I use Ark to split a large archive into parts?

No, Ark does not provide a split/merge feature. You would need to use another tool such as 7z or PeaZip for that.

Is Ark available on non‑KDE desktop environments?

Ark is a KDE application, but it runs fine on other desktop environments. It integrates with Dolphin by default; for other file managers you may need to enable the context‑menu plugin manually.
