Alternate EXE Packer

Alternate EXE Packer is a freeware solution for compressing and decompressing EXE and DLL files. Its primary function is to minimize the physical size of these files on your disk. The tool provides a versatile range of 12 compression levels to suit different needs. A significant safety feature is its ability to create automatic backups before modifying any files. The compressed executables are self-extracting, meaning they run normally without needing the packer program installed on the target system. This makes it ideal for developers and users looking to reduce application size for distribution or storage. The software requires .NET Framework 2.0, which is standard in modern Windows OS like Vista and later, ensuring broad compatibility at no cost.
