- 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.
- Unix .TAR file archive compressed with Gnu Zip (.GZIP) compression; uses a TAR archive to bundle the files together and Gzip compression to reduce the file size; commonly used on Unix and Linux systems; originally created as the shorthand version of the compound extension .TAR.GZ.
