The ability of 7-Zip to minimize the file is astounding. 7z can be up to 40 percent smaller than the ZIP archive file, although the compression process takes a long time, and the highest compression settings can overload computer resources.
Advanced option on the file-compression utility includes the ability to create self-extracting archive file and solid, and has the ability to adjust the compression level and password protection. This software also has a command line module. Although the primary interface alias display looks too simple and designed to look like Windows 95, but 7-Zip both fairly easy to use even for novice user.
The main features of 7-Zip: High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression. While some of the formats supported by this utility are: Packing / unpacking: 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR; unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MSI, NSIS, RAR, RPM, UDF, WIM, XAR and Z. For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ration of 2-10% better than ratio (ratio) which is provided by PKZip and WinZip.
7-Zip is a file-compression utility, suitable for general computer users with minimal computer skills. But in particular, 7-Zip will be more suitable for developers and anyone on the move using the Windows operating system as well as Linux.
