(EDITORS' REVIEW)

 

 

 

7-Zip is a utility program to help you extract compressed files and create your own compressed files in several different formats. With these tools, you can easily send large quantities of information or open compressed files you receive without hassle.

(PROS) 

    Format options: This program can handle multiple compression formats. It can package files into 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, and TAR formats, and it can unpack all those, in addition to ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, DEB, DMG, and more                                                   

(BOTTOM LINE)

 

7-Zip is completely free to download and use, and its many upsides far outweigh the few minor drawbacks that come with it. If you're looking for an alternative to WinZip or another similar program, this is a good option to consider.
