PeaZip als Linux-Alternative zu WinAce

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

PeaZip is a solid replacement for WinAce, especially for users who need to extract ACE archives and work with ZIP, RAR, and CAB files. It offers both a GUI and command-line capabilities via scripting, supports open-source licensing, and integrates well with Linux desktop environments. While it doesn’t use native Linux tools under the hood, it wraps established backends like p7zip and Zstd. Ideal for users wanting a single tool for multiple formats and extra features like encryption and duplicate detection.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Supports ACE, ZIP, RAR, and CAB archive formats for extraction
  • Provides both GUI and CLI access (via script export)
  • Free and open-source under LGPL-3.0-only
  • Allows creation and extraction of ZIP archives
  • Integrates with file managers through desktop actions

Was anders ist

  • PeaZip is cross-platform; WinAce was Windows-only
  • PeaZip does not natively create ACE archives (only extract them)
  • WinAce had direct shell integration in Windows; PeaZip relies on desktop menu entries
  • PeaZip includes advanced features like duplicate file finder and format conversion
  • Command-line use in PeaZip requires exporting GUI tasks, not direct CLI control

Ihre WinAce-Dateien öffnen

PeaZip can extract ACE archives using the included unace utility, which is required for this format. However, creating ACE files is not supported due to licensing and lack of open-source tools for ACE compression. For ZIP, RAR, and CAB files, PeaZip offers full read and write support. Users migrating from WinAce can open their old ACE archives without issue, but should plan to transition to open formats like 7Z or ZIP for new archives.

Von WinAce zu PeaZip wechseln – Schritt für Schritt

  1. Install PeaZip via your distro's package manager or Flathub
  2. Ensure unace is installed (may be non-free; check your repo)
  3. Use the GUI to open and extract existing ACE, ZIP, RAR, or CAB files
  4. Create new archives in ZIP or 7Z instead of ACE
  5. Export frequent tasks as CLI scripts using the scripting engine
  6. Set up file manager context menu integration via PeaZip settings
