About 7Z Archive (.7Z)
7Z is a compressed archive file format that supports high compression ratios and multiple compression algorithms. It was created by Igor Pavlov in 1999 and is primarily used to reduce file sizes for easier storage and transfer. The format is open-source, allowing widespread use and development by the community.
Technical Details
The 7Z format utilizes the LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain algorithm) for compression, delivering better compression ratios compared to traditional ZIP files. It also supports solid compression, which groups similar files for improved efficiency. The file extension '.7z' is recognized across various operating systems, making it a versatile choice for archival purposes.
Additional Information & Use Cases
7Z files can contain multiple files and folders, preserving the original directory structure and metadata. One notable feature is its support for strong AES-256 encryption to secure contents within the archive. It is commonly handled by the free 7-Zip software, which is known for its efficient compression capabilities.
