- Description
- An LHA compressed file format that uses the Lempel-Ziv compression algorithm. It began on the Amiga platform but has since grown to be used in other platforms. It is very similar to Gzip as the same lz77 compression codec is applied.
- 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.
