7-Zip has been my default archiver for years and I recommend it to everyone who asks. The 7z format with LZMA2 produces noticeably smaller archives than plain zip for large backups, which really adds up with cloud storage. A few tips: the right-click context menu integration makes extracting a one-click job; the built-in AES-256 encryption is genuinely strong for sensitive archives - just use a long passphrase; and the split-archive option is handy when uploads have size limits. It also opens RAR, TAR, and ISO files without fuss. Lightweight, no nag screens, does exactly what it promises.

That’s all well and good, but the programme has had trouble extracting Asus BIOS files for years. You can check this by downloading the BIOS for any Asus motherboard model – 7-Zip won’t extract it properly. An error will appear:
"Some data is located beyond the end of the payload"
However, if you use the built-in archiver in Windows 10/11, it will extract the Asus BIOS archive correctly.

I recently just downloaded this from this page, and used the big "DOWNLOAD" link shown in GREEN at the top left of this webpage.
After downloading the file named "7z2600-x64.exe", I uploaded it to virustotal.com, and it detected this:
Bkav Pro
W64.AIDetectMalware
Acronis (Static ML)
NOT sure if this is a false positive.. but I avoided installing.

Does the job extremely well. One of the quiet, underrated paragons of useful open source tools.

Perfect – the only thing needed is the integration into the Windows 11 context menu.

Totally free, works on even EXE archives, no nagging, works through Wine on Linux like a dream, installs quickly, just an all around awesome unzipper. Thanks!

The user interface is clean and minimalistic — not bloated at all. 7-Zip works excellently, and the 7z format is arguably the best available. However, I’ve been requesting a simple, user-friendly way to completely disable the folder history feature for a long time. Currently, the only method is by manually editing the registry, which isn't ideal. Implementing this feature wouldn't be difficult, but the developer has consistently ignored these requests. As a result, I would rate the support as poor.

7-Zip offers excellent compression with the LZMA algorithm, supports multiple formats, and is user-friendly. It's lightweight, fast, and free. Perfect for managing large files and saving space. Highly recommended for anyone needing efficient file compression.

I would like to add compliments for a feature I have not seen described elsewhere: very fast copying of uncompressed files from one drive/folder to another.
I have been frustrated by very slow copying of even small files by Windows File Explorer. Some other programs I have tried aren't a big improvement; maybe they are using Windows copying code. But 7-Zip does a great job, so thank you! (I use it in the "2 panels" view mode.)
