Specifications

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.

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.

7-Zip is free software, developed by Igor Pavlov and distributed under the GNU LGPL license. This file archiver works on all Windows operating systems, from Windows NT to 10 (32-bit and 64-bit).

The main features of 7-Zip:

  • High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression and LZMA2 compression
  • For ZIP and GZIP formats, the provided compression ratio is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip

Changes in 7-Zip 24.08 (2024-08-12):

  • The bug in version 24.00-24.07 was fixed:
    For creating a zip archive: The app could write extra zero bytes after the end of the archive, if a file included to archive cannot be compressed to a size smaller than original.
    The created zip archive is correct except for the useless zero bytes after the end of the archive.
    When unpacking such a zip archive, the app displays a warning:
    “WARNING: There are data after the end of archive”.
  • The bug was fixed: there was a leak of GDI objects (internal resources in Windows) in “Confirm File Replace” window, causing problems after 1600 displays of “Confirm File Replace” window from same running 7-Zip process.
  • Some optimizations for displaying file icons in app File Manager and in “Confirm File Replace” window.
  • Some bugs were fixed.

Changes in 7-Zip 24.07 (2024-06-19):

  • The bug was fixed: The app could not unpack some ZSTD archives.

Changes in 7-Zip 24.05 (2024-05-15):

  • New switch -myv={MMNN} to set decoder compatibility version for 7z archive creating.
    {MMNN} is 4-digit number that represents the version of the app without a dot.
    If -myv={MMNN} switch is specified, the appwill only use compression methods that can be decoded by the specified version {MMNN} of the app and newer versions.
    If -myv={MMNN} switch is not specified, -myv=2300 is used, and the app will only use compression methods that can be decoded by the app 23.00 and newer versions.
  • New switch -myfa={FilterID} to allow the app to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.
  • New switch -myfd={FilterID} to disallow the app to use the specified filter method for 7z archive creating.
  • Some bugs were fixed.
