- 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.
- This is a compressed archive in the TAR container with the help of the BZIP tool. It was created for use in Unix systems. The TAR container combines several files into one archive that’s placed in a TBZ compressed file. They’re used as installation packets in the installers of some operating systems.
