7-Zip can compress your folders and files so they use less space on your hard drive. The program is able to create archives formats 7z, TAR, Gzip, Bzip2 and ZIP. It can open many formats such as 7z, ZIP, CAB, RAR, ARJ, gzip, bzip2, TAR, CPIO, RPM and DEB. To distribute your files, you can create self-extracting archives from your 7z archives.

WinRAR is one of the flagship software in the field of file compression. As its name suggests, the software manages RARLAB obviously its file format (RAR) but also the inevitable ZIP and decompression formats * CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, tar.gz, BZ2, TAR.BZ2, ACE, UUE, JAR, ISO (ISO9660 - CD image), and Z 7Z
Like its competitors, WinRAR integrates with Windows Explorer and can thus compress and decompress files from the context menu. For mainstream users, this feature may be sufficient but WinRAR also includes more advanced options such as the protection of archives by creating volumes of food, adding passwords, test archived files or a module for benchmarking test the compression performance of your PC.
