I recently found out about PeaZip, it's a Foss compression tool that can compress and uncompress a wide variety of compression formats. For some formats, like 7z, it also has some pretty advanced options to help maximize compression ratios, if you know what you are doing of course.

    What advantages does it have over just 7zip?

    Outside of having significantly more formats and methods available (some of which are experimental), the only other thing really notable is that 7zip doesn't seem to have a "tar before" option, like PeaZip does. I can see that in the manual, that 7zip can tar files before compressing but you have to do that manually.

    I should probably mention that my original comment was comparing PeaZIp to WinRAR. I actually didn't use 7zip until I tested for the purpose of comparing it to PeaZip in this comment.
