7Z lets you control archive files like 7Zip (7z format) zip, rar, jar or APK on your device. Extract, open, view or create your own archives quickly and easily by compressing files and folders.
feature:
– Supports all common archive formats and types (zip, rar, 7zip, 7z, jar, apk, tar, gzip)
– Create zip file (or unzip file) encrypted with password
– Create archives that support high compression, such as 7Zip or Tar.
– Unzip zip file or unzip 7Zip or 7z file encryption password (you need to know the password, 7z is not a password cracker)
– Browse content in archive formats with multiple files: 7Zip, 7z, Tar, Apk, Jar, Rar
– Background execution: create, extract or decompress files even when the application is closed
– Intuitive file manager with standard file operations like move, copy and delete
– Work progress and history
– Extended file associations (like 7z) allow you to open files by external selection
Here’s why you should already be using 7Z:
Protect files and folders by encrypting them in a password-protected zip file. Encryption is a secure method of protecting files.
Archiving allows you to reduce the file size of a file or folder. You can also compress multiple files into one smaller file for easier emailing or sharing.
You can compress files and large files on your device that are rarely used to save disk space on Android devices. And You can decompress them again later when needed.
More about the archives:
Archives come in a variety of formats, each with its own unique compression algorithm. 7Z supports all common archives like 7Zip, 7Z, Rar, Zip, but it also supports less used archives.
Archives are usually found on the Internet and need to be unzipped or extracted before the content can be used. You need to unzip the files before you can use them.
Sometimes archives are encrypted. This means they require a password to be extracted. This password is entered by the original author and is usually included in the download.
Some information about archive formats:
Rar and zip files have been the standard form of archive compression for decades, but recently the 7z 7Zip format has become very popular.
Zip files are still the most popular type of archive since Winzip became popular on computers decades ago. It also supports encryption. Zip files are stored with a .zip extension. You can also unzip the file.
7zip (pronounced 7 zip) is an open source compression format that provides high compression, speed, reliability, and support for multiple files. Files are stored with a 7z extension (.7z)
Rar is less popular these days because 7z offers higher compression and zip is simpler than rar, but it is still a widely used format. Files are stored with a .rar extension.
Jar and APK archives use compression techniques similar to zip, but are often used for other functions.
Jar archives are usually java archives, while APKs are used to store Android applications. They are stored in .jar and .apk formats respectively.
The tar format provides high compression ratios for multiple files and is often combined with the GZip format (gz) to further improve compression ratios. It is very popular on Linux systems.
7Z also supports other compression formats such as DEFLATE, LZMA, XZ, ZStandard and the less commonly used Pack200.
