- Description
- The ALZ file format is associated with ALZip, a file compression and archiving software developed by ESTsoft. An ALZ file is essentially a compressed archive that can contain one or more files and folders, making it a convenient way to reduce file size for storage or transfer. This format is particularly useful for consolidating multiple files into a single, smaller file, which can then be easily shared or archived. ALZip also supports encryption, allowing for secure storage and transfer of sensitive information.
- A 7Z file is a type of compressed archive that uses the open-source LZMA compression algorithm to reduce the size of the file. This type of file is often used to store multiple directories and files in a single, compressed package. 7Z files can also include strong AES-256 encryption for added security. They are commonly created using the 7-Zip utility developed by Igor Pavlov.
