File Roller ou PeaZip : une bonne alternative sous Linux ?

File Roller, alternative Linux à PeaZip

Mis à jour le 18 octobre 2026

Notre avis

File Roller works well as a basic replacement for PeaZip on a GNOME‑based desktop. It handles the most common archive types (ZIP, TAR, GZIP, BZIP2, XZ) and integrates with the file manager, making everyday compression and extraction painless. Power users who rely on PeaZip’s broader format list, native PEA archives, advanced encryption, batch operations, or built‑in splitting/merging will find it lacking, but for typical office or home tasks File Roller is a solid, free alternative.

Ce qui fonctionne pareil

Open and extract ZIP archives","Create and extract TAR‑based archives (tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, tar.xz)","Password‑protect ZIP files","Integrates with the desktop file manager (Nautilus)","Supports drag‑and‑drop operations

Ce qui change

No native support for PeaZip’s .pea format","Limited encryption (only ZIP password protection, no AES‑256 for other formats)","No built‑in batch‑processing UI for multiple archives","No direct archive splitting/merging tools","RAR extraction depends on external unrar backend, not guaranteed out‑of‑the‑box

Ouvrir vos fichiers PeaZip

File Roller can open most PeaZip‑created archives that use standard formats such as ZIP, 7z (via the 7z backend), TAR, GZIP, BZIP2 and XZ. It cannot create or reliably extract PeaZip’s proprietary .pea files, and handling of some obscure formats may require installing additional command‑line tools. If a PeaZip archive uses a supported format, File Roller will treat it like any other archive; otherwise you’ll need to fall back to the command line or keep PeaZip installed.

Passer de PeaZip à File Roller, étape par étape

Install File Roller from your distro’s repository or Flathub
Associate common archive extensions with File Roller (right‑click → Open With → File Roller)
Test opening a few existing ZIP and TAR archives to confirm integration
If you need RAR support, install the unrar package and retry extraction
For any .pea files, keep PeaZip installed or convert them to a standard format using PeaZip before switching

Questions fréquentes

Can File Roller encrypt archives like PeaZip?

File Roller only offers password protection for ZIP files, which uses weak encryption. It does not provide the stronger AES‑256 encryption that PeaZip offers for many formats.

What about splitting large archives?

File Roller has no GUI option to split or join archives; you would need to use command‑line tools such as split, cat, or 7z for that purpose.

Is batch processing possible?

There is no built‑in batch‑process UI. You can script repetitive tasks with the command‑line tools that File Roller calls, but the graphical interface handles one archive at a time.
