7-Zip 18.06 – File Archiver
Free Download Description Changelog Technical

7-Zip is an open source file archiver with the high compression ratio predominantly for the Microsoft Windows operating system.

It operates either as a command line program or with a graphical user interface. It also features integration with the Windows shell environment.

7-Zip is free software, developed by Igor Pavlov and distributed under the GNU LGPL license.

Compression ratio results are very dependent upon the data used for the tests. Usually, 7-Zip compresses to 7z format 30-70% better than to zip format.

And it compresses to zip format 2-10% better than most of other zip compatible programs.

    "Verified" 7-Zip can extract RAR5 in Beta 15.06

    From the developer Igor Pavlov: "Some modules from "Extra" package were moved to LZMA SDK. 7-Zip 9.35 beta for 99.99% is same code as 9.34 alpha. Only some bugs were fixed. My latest changes in code for 7-Zip are under development still, so they are not included to 7-Zip 9.35 beta. So now I have two branches of code: 9.35 and "next_version" code. It's more difficult to support two branches. But at least now I can fix simple bugs faster and release fixed versions." Looks like faster beta roll outs are coming.

    7Zip does have a self extracting function. Use Add to Archive and in Options box you'll see 'Create SFX archive' check box.
