Average score 3.35 (based on 69 votes)

A very good file compression and extraction program, with more formats than the average user will ever need, and most of the ones even an advanced user would want.

The 4, is because it is somewhat counter intuitive, to the point of being distracting, but otherwise, very good!

i love it, works great, and 7zip is one of best compression rates

I'm a pretty competent computer user but hardly a coder or anything. For me, 7-Zip is all the compression program I'll ever need. No complaints at all. I do my own archiving in the native format (which is pretty impressive) but it can seemingly handle any other format I throw at it.

Hits the spot with ease.

Consistently better compression than the commercial app WinRAR (which I purchased a license for and use often). It is not uncommon for me to achieve 60% to 80% compression ratios with 7-zip.

Note that the RAR unpacking part is not open source (it's under a proprietary unrar license that is not certified by OSI ). Who could remove the rar tag from the application?

Probably the lightest and best software, handles zip and rar files with ease. !

I love this

7-Zip is the fastest archiver.
7-Zip can decompress RAR files.
7-Zip can even decompress files inside .MSI files, .gadget files for Windows Sidebar and even some .EXE files, it also opens linux archives .DEB, .TAR ,BZ2 and it handles those most splitted files.
7-Zip can encrypt your data using the most advanced revolutionary leading encryption technologies.
7-Zip supports the most advanced archiving format to date called .7z

You recollect that saying, it takes a village to heighten a child?

Evidently, Kanye's village has failed him. He order cialis online clearly doesn't secure a existent chum in the world. There does not manifest to be anyone who can get through to him, to represent him catch on to that he needs to check his awful behavior.

(I would give four stars, but there are way too many one star ratings without any comment.)

given by Anonymous on February 9, 2011

Overrated. You can't add files and you can't edit files within the compressed file.

given by ro0ter on February 22, 2011

What else do you want from this program? IT ROCKS !!!

On each and every piece of PC I fix I put this software.
