About ACE (.ACE)
ACE is a file format used for compressed archive files, similar to ZIP or RAR formats. It allows users to bundle multiple files into one compressed file, making storage and transfer more efficient. The ACE format was popular in the early 2000s before ZIP and RAR took dominance. Its compression algorithm was designed to offer better compression ratios in some cases.
Technical Details
ACE files use a proprietary compression algorithm developed by Marcel Lemke and e-merge GmbH, aiming for high compression efficiency. The format supports encryption to protect archived data and can store multiple files and directories within a single archive. ACE archives typically use the .ace file extension and can be split into volumes for easier distribution. Despite its efficiency, the format has seen declining support due to the rise of more open standards.
Additional Information & Use Cases
ACE archives often require specific software like WinAce to open or create files in this format. Though less common today, ACE files can still be found in older software distributions or backups. The format supports solid archiving, which can improve compression across multiple files. However, security concerns have limited its use in recent years.
