GUiPeX is a name taken from GUI (Graphical User Interface) and UPX.
UPX, a free DOS command-line tool, is a portable, extendable, high-performance executable packer for several different executable formats. It achieves an excellent compression ratio and offers very fast decompression. Your executables suffer no memory overhead or other drawbacks. Since UPX is a DOS tool, a simple GUI front-end for use in Windows was needed.
The primary use for GUiPeX is for software developers to compress their programs before distributing them to their customers or posting them on the internet. This makes the final file sizes much smaller (up to 75% smaller) for faster file transfers.
In the end, this application will come in handy to anyone who wants to compress files in order to increase free disk space.
