Description: 7-zip is the original compression utility for the 7z compression format.
(Check out the compression ratio comparison to other formats on the official site!)
It supports 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2 and TAR for archive creation/extraction, and also RAR, CAB, ARJ, LZH, CHM, Z, CPIO, RPM and DEB for extraction only.
Unlike the commonly recommended WinZip and WinRar which are trialware/commercialware, 7-zip is freeware (open source).
It also supports SFXs for installers by an extra module. The program (as well as source code and modules) can be freely downloaded from the
official website. I think it is a neat and easy-to-use utility that everyone should try.

7-zip is awsome, it can create smaller archives then WinRAR. The only problem, is depending on the compression ratio and the size of the file, it can seriously lag up your computer, so it is good to have a good amount of ram (and time) if you are compressing a big file using the smallest compression.
