Description :
7-Zip is a very good and high-quality archiver that outperforms many competitors, making it a popular choice for more and more users.
The developer’s dedication to distributing 7-Zip worldwide and translating it into 79 languages, including Russian, is evident.
Additional information :
7-Zip compresses files using the LZMA and LZMA2 algorithms, which are significantly more advanced than the WinRar archiver’s algorithm. The LZMA and LZMA2 data compression algorithms support multi- and hyper-threading technologies, which also gives the program an advantage over its competitors on platforms with powerful processors.
7-Zip can create password-protected archives (a 17-character password would take 40 to 100 years to crack), encrypt file names, and, of course, create self-extracting SFX archives. Encryption uses the 256-bit AES cryptographic algorithm, one of the best encryption algorithms available today.
First and foremost, this archiver is valuable for its proprietary 7z format. This format is considered to have the highest compression ratio and is ideal for archiving large amounts of information (for example, particularly large programs or games). It also supports the following formats: ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, LZH, CHM, BZIP2, TAR, CPIO, RPM, and DEB. It’s worth noting that this program’s compression ratio for ZIP and GZIP formats is often significantly higher than that of competitors.
7-Zip is completely free, which is a rare feature among programs of this type, making it another strong point in its favor.
Some possibilities: · Archive/unarchive: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP, and WIM
· Unarchive only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR, and Z.
· For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip offers compression that is 2-10% better than that provided by PKZip and WinZip
· Strong encryption for 7z and ZIP formats
· Self-extracting capability for 7z format
· Windows Explorer integration
· Powerful file manager
· Powerful command-line version
· FAR Manager plugin
