Puran Defrag is a disk defragmenter for the Windows operating system. Defragmention occurs over time when programs and files cannot be saved in one block on the hard drive. This can lead to slower access times and performance decreases. Some disk defragmentation programs provide advanced features like moving files into the fastest sectors of the hard drive to speed up file access.
Puran Defrag comes with all the basic defragmentation options one would expect from such a software and many advanced options that are usually only found in commercial defragmenters.
The software’s main interface is divided into four sections that are divided by the tabs in the top row. The program starts with the basic defragmenter that can be used to defragment one or multiple partitions of the computer system.
This tab can also be used to analyze the defragmentation and to schedule a boot time defrag.
The Additional Operations tab offers advanced defragmentation options:
- Fill gaps to avoid frequent fragmentation
- Optimize directories for faster system access
- Free some space for Windows temporary files on faster disk area
- Boost overall system speed with Puran Intelligent Optimizer
- Exclude files from the process
- Exclude files with a size between x and y
- Enable Windows Explorer integration to defragment files and folders with a right-click
- Delete files in a list before defragmentation
The third tab can be used to schedule automatic defragmentations of the computer system. Puran Defrag is a very sophisticated and comfortable disk defragmenter. It is available for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows operating systems including Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7. A free and commercial version of the program is offered at the developer’s website. Both versions do however provide the same functionality and the free version can also be used in a commercial environment.

Nice find a bit slow but great.
the free version is only good for:
“* Free for private and non-commercial use only.”
haven’t tried it out yet so I dunno if the freebie one has ads on it or not.
Incredible good defragmenter, and its a really good news that now its free-ware, I already test it and the Free and Commercial version are the same.
Installed, configured and manually ran this software (free version) this evening.
Very nice! Seems to work effectively. Impressed that it supports MFT defrag (at boot time), which I intend to test out in a couple of days since I have some highly fragmented MFT files on certain logical disks.
The UI feels a bit weird.
You can select multiple disks to defrag by holding down the Ctrl key and left-click on each one.
The report that you can export to HTML is excellent.
This is much better than Auslogics and not as complex as JKDefrag (also neither of these have MFT defrag).
“Fill gaps to avoid frequent fragmentation”
Actually this creates fragmentation! For example if a file grows in size there is no gap for it to grow into therefore it ends up scattered all over your drive.
Very good software, my PC became faster. thanks
