7-Zip is a file archiver with a high compression ratio. With these tools, you can easily send large quantities of information or open compressed files you receive without hassle.

The app is open-source software. Most of the source code is under the GNU LGPL license. The unRAR code is under a mixed license: GNU LGPL + unRAR restrictions. You can use 7-Zip 32bit on any computer, including a computer in a commercial organization.

Compression ratio results are very dependent upon the data used for the tests. Usually, It compresses to 7z format 30-70% better than to zip format. And the app compresses to zip format 2-10% better than most of the other zip compatible programs.

What's new in this version:

- 7-Zip now can calculate the following hash checksums: SHA-512, SHA-384, SHA3-256 and MD5.
- APM and HFS support was improved.
- If an archive update operation uses a temporary archive folder and the archive is moved to the destination folder, 7-Zip shows the progress of moving the archive file, as this operation can take a long time if the archive is large.
- The bug was fixed: 7-Zip File Manager didn't propagate Zone.Identifier stream for extracted files from nested archives (if there is open archive inside another open archive).
- Some bugs were fixed.
