Alternate EXE Packer is an application that allows you to compress and decompress executable files (technology based on UPX). The tool offers a platform to reduce .exe files without affecting their performance and functions. It works with Windows standard executables and DLL files.
How to use Alternate EXE Packer
- Once the application is open, to compress a file, click on 'Open', select the executable file (.exe), and determine the degree of compression. Then click on 'Compress' and watch the tool do its work.
- To decompress compressed executables, simply choose the file and click on 'Decompress'.
As you can see, the tool does its job remarkably well and in two simple steps. It is important to note that a compressed file decompresses itself while being executed, without the need to use this program. In other words, its use does not affect the functionality of the file in question. It also works with DLL files, offers 12 compression levels, and can create backup copies of the files to compress (just in case).
If you want to compress your Windows executable files, Alternate EXE Packer is definitely the utility you are looking for. It is a free application available for Windows operating systems, from Windows 98 onwards.
