7-Zip Archiver

7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiving software. It is used to compress files to reduce their size for faster transferring on the web or physical media. 7-Zip uses its own 7z archive format, but can read and write many other archive file formats. The program can be used from a command-line interface as the command p7zip, as a graphical user interface, or with a window-based shell integration. 7-Zip began in 1999 and is developed by Igor Pavlov. 7-Zip is open-source software and most of its source code is under the GNU LGPL license.
