7-Zip, developed by Igor Pavlov, is a free, open-source file archiver known for its high compression ratio and reliability. It uses the 7z format with LZMA/LZMA2 compression and can create archives in 7z, ZIP, TAR, and WIM, while extracting many additional formats such as RAR and ISO. Key features include AES-256 encryption (with optional encrypted filenames in 7z), multi-core compression, volume splitting, integrity testing, and the ability to create self-extracting archives. On Windows, it integrates with File Explorer via the context menu and includes both a graphical file manager and command-line tools. 7-Zip is available in many languages and is licensed under the GNU LGPL, making it free for personal and commercial use.
