Loading ...7-Zip offers a free (open source) file compression and decompression utility. It supports decompression of rar and zip files and allows you to compress files in zip or 7z format. It is not a trial software and IMHO is far better than any of the popular trial softwares like Winzip and Winrar. Go get it from here.
The main features of 7-Zip
- High compression ratio in new 7z format with LZMA compression
- Supported formats:
- Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM

- For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
- Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
- Self-extracting capability for 7z format
