WinZip and WinRAR, these both are paid utilities to unzip files. But why spend money when you can get this same functionality for free. PeaZip is just a perfect utility which will help you to unzip various formats. PeaZip is available for Windows and Linux, plus it’s freeware. Some people may think that there is no alternative, but it is not so. The interface of this utility is very easy to use, and it can even convert one type of archive to another.

This is taken from the official site of PeaZip

PeaZip is an open source file and archive manager: cross platform, available as portable and installable software for 32 and 64 bit Windows (9x, 2k, XP, Vista, 7) and Linux (PeaZip is a desktop neutral application).
