(No Ratings Yet)

7-Zip for Windows 11 makes it easy to zip and unzip files from many different archive formats. But its true power comes in its ability to handle the more obscure ones. The RAR format, made popular by the shareware tool WinRAR, is one such. It is quite popular online, but the tool that popularized it wants you to buy it. that is where 7Zip comes to the rescue.

7-Zip for Windows 11 is a file archive tool. An archive is a file that holds other files–much like a filing cabinet is a thing that holds other things. An archive sticks a bunch of files together and glues them together. So they look like a single file, rather than a folder full of files. Archives also often offer compression of the contents, which lets you reduce total file size. So do you have a bunch of documents? You might be able to reduce the size of the archive drastically from what the folder would be.
