Title

The Portable Freeware Collection

Description

Overview

This site is dedicated to the collection and cataloging of freeware that can be extracted to any directory and run independently without prior installation. These can be carried around on a memory stick / USB flash drive, or copied / migrated from PC to PC via simple copying of files. Hence the term portable freeware.

Some freeware already come in the form of a ZIP file, ready to be extracted and run from any directory. Others require an extraction procedure, which could be as simple as installing them, extracting the necessary files, and uninstalling them again.

Unfortunately, not all freeware can be extracted this way. Some freeware still rely on hocus-pocus in their SETUP.EXE (write special registry keys, install nifty COM objects etc.) in order to function properly. These non-portable freeware will not be listed in our database. Hopefully we will see fewer of them in time to come if enough people become concerned about portability.
