7-Zip Portable for Windows

1/8

7-Zip Portable for Windows is an open source file archiving program designed and published by Igor Pavlov. The program mainly focuses on users to compress executable or larger files, which facilitates fast data transfer from one computer to another. The program can also be used as a data decompressor from digital photos. The decompression feature allows the user to combine multiple files into a single zipped file that can then be transferred to any other computer using a zip drive or other compatible storage medium.

Like many other similar programs, 7-Zip is free software that has been available to the public for a while. While the original version was intended for Linux only, the portable version is available for both Windows and MacOS X. While the software comes with an open source archiving utility called 7-Zip Compresser, based on the OpenOffice office suite of applications, other features such as sharing and collaboration functions remain secret. However, the portable version allows the user to compress files in a thumb-sized format that is compatible with Windows Zip disks.

While there are many other file archiving utilities for Windows out there, the 7-Zip Portable version is believed to be distinguished by the high compression ratio it achieves. Many programs cannot achieve compression ratios as high as 7-Zip Portable, which makes the popularity of this new version even more astonishing. The developers of the program suggest that even professional users can achieve a compression ratio of around 95%. This high compression ratio allows you to store a file in just a few seconds without the need for backups. In addition to that, the 7-Zip Portable is also available in several languages ​​including English, Spanish, Korean and Italian.
