DOWNLOAD

7-Zip is an open-source archiving and compression tool mainly used to collect multiple directories and files into a single container and reduce it in size using the 7Z compression algorithm. This algorithm provides a higher compression ratio than the .ZIP format, making it more favorable for users to store and share content.

The software supports other compression algorithms like XZ, RAR, and GZIP, making it ideal for some users dealing with different compressed archives.
