An application that is specialized in compressing and decompressing runable files.

As you might well be able to work out from its name, UPX (Ultimate Packer for Executables) is an application that is specialized in compressing and decompressing runnable files, but also works with other formats.

According to the authors, UPX offers an excellent compression ratio and typically compresses better than WinZip/zip/gzip. Thus you can use UPX to decrease the size of your distribution. It has very fast decompression: ~10 MB/sec on an ancient Pentium 133, more than 200 MB/sec on an Athlon. There is no memory overhead for your compressed executables because of in-place decompression, and it's very safe. You can list, test and unpack your executables. Also, a checksum of both the compressed and uncompressed file is maintained internally. It's universal as UPX can pack a number of executable formats, it's portable because UPX is written in portable endian-neutral C++, and it's extendable because of the class layout it's very easy to add new executable formats or new compression algorithms. UPX is distributed with full source code under the GNU General Public License v2+.

UPX offers an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. It also works through the command line, letting you apply diverse parameters to determine things like compression speed (it goes up to 200MB/sec), compression ratio, compressed file verification, renaming, etc This file management program is very easy to download, install and then use, through its friendly and intuitive user interface. You don't need any technical experience at all to get the most out of it.

So there you have it. If you want an excellent tool for managing the compression and decompression of your files, then you need a program like this UPX. And best of all is that you can download it for free! What are you waiting for?
