Download 7-Zip 21.06
Unlike most archivers, this product is completely free and open source. The installation file size is only 1MB. And yes - this is a really powerful archiver with many functions. For those who still use WinRAR, you should pay attention to 7-Zip.
What can the 7-Zip archiver do?
And a lot, I will answer. But let's take things in order.
Compression ratio
This program compresses archives of ZIP and GZIP formats 2-10% better than its analogues. And this is a good indicator. In its native 7Z format, this archiver compresses 30-70% better than regular ZIP, and all thanks to the fact that this format uses LZMA compression.
Support for different archive formats
7-Zip archiver works great with the following extensions: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR. It can both unzip and zip files into these formats. Unfortunately, with such a popular format as RAR, it can only work for unzipping, as well as with the following: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, Mg,HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z.
Self-extracting archives
The archiver supports the creation of archives that do not require an archiver to unpack on another computer.
File breakdown
Like many programs, this archiver supports the function of splitting files into parts or, as they say, into blocks. Typically this function is used for large files to be sent by mail. And then the downloaded files are collected into one single file.
Explorer integration
7-Zip adds itself to the Windows Explorer menu when installed. You can right-click on the archive and start unpacking using this archiver. Very convenient integration.
Use anywhere
Because 7-Zip is open source, it can be used both on home computers and within commercial organizations. You would have to pay for WinRar, but here everything is free.
Command line
For lovers of the command line, this archiver has a powerful version for working with it.
File Manager
Someone will think that this is a simple archiver. But no. It's also full-fledged file manager.
Still faced with the choice of which archiver to use? Try 7-Zip and I'm sure you'll like it.
