Contents is just a txt file with the text of this post. With 64 MB dictionary and 16 threads will use up to 5 GB of ram to compress your archives, but 4-8 compression threads and up to 8 MB dictionary is more common, so memory usage will be less (up to ~1 GB of memory)Įdit: attached is a zip file compressed with PPMd algorithm. WinRAR defaults to maximum 4 MB dictionary I think, I'm not sure. The file manager allows both to select files and folders to be archived as Zip files (or other formats), and to select archives to be unzipped. The 7zip format of 7zip is much better than ZIP and even RAR in some cases, and you can use very big dictionaries and can use a lot of threads (for example with 16 threads and 1.5 GB dictionary, 7zip could use up to 145 GB of RAM to compress something, if you want absolutely the maximum compression on huge amount of data, like GBs of content) but that's ridiculous extremes. PeaZip is a freeware cross-platform archive manager that provides a single GUI for Open Source technologies (7-Zip, FreeArc, PAQ, UPX.) on Windows 1, Linux 2, and BSD. jZip provides an elegant but efficient interface that is easy to use to make it suitable for beginners. WinRar lets you choose between using the older RAR algorithms (until version 5) and newer algorithms which are not compatible with older rar decompressors. This tool uses robust 7-Zip archiving technology to ensure your files are compressed easily and efficiently. ![]() It's like the same story with RAR archives. ![]() the built in zip thing in Windows 7 opens the archive and shows the files in it, but can't extract a file compressed using the non-default algorithm PPMd (which is very very good at compressing text files or files with lots of words like html pages), the extraction fails with an error. simply choose from the compression method BZip2 or LZMA or PPMd Based on test, to compress 1.5 GB of video files, 7-Zip delivers the highest compression rate, WinRAR comes as the second, while WinZip provides a compression ratio that is about 6 lower than 7-Zip. ![]() 7zip supports those and also allows you to create such zip archives. If you choose 7Z format instead of ZIP format using 7-Zip to compress files, 7Z format would have a much higher compression ratio than ZIP format. WinZIP implemented several compression methods in ZIP files that are not using the standard DEFLATE algorithm. I'm not even sure it opens all non-standard zip files.
