It supports not only standard archive types such as gzip, bzip2, and zip, but also compressed Disk Image.

Moreover CleanArchiver has the ability not to include system files peculiar to Mac OS X such as .DS_Store and custom icon file (Icon\r) in your archive. So your archive is always clean on other operating systems. CleanArchiver powerfully supports you to create archives with various archive types and convenient options.
