Alternate EXE Packer

Optimize your software distribution with Alternate EXE Packer, a utility designed to shrink the size of executable (EXE) and DLL files. It effectively reduces the physical footprint of applications on any storage medium. The program offers 12 compression levels, giving you control over the compression ratio. It can also decompress files that were previously packed. For safety, it automatically generates backups of your original files. The compressed output is a self-contained executable that unpacks itself in memory when run, requiring no additional software on the end-user's machine. As freeware that relies on the built-in .NET Framework 2.0 (present in Windows Vista and newer), it's a cost-free and efficient way to minimize download times and conserve valuable disk space.
