FSArchiver strives to be more feature-rich and less UX[clarification needed] than PartImage. As a result, it is used by other software and toolsets for its functionality. Two of the most widely used features that PartImage lacks are support for multi-core compression and support for the commonly used Ext4 filesystem.

Other notable features include modern and multi-threaded compression[2] of disk image files, combined with file-based images (as opposed to block-based images most similar tools use) to enhance compression by ignoring unused clusters.
An essential key feature of FSArchiver is "Everything is checksummed in the archive in order to protect the data. If the archive is corrupt, you just lose the current file, not the whole archive."[3]
