- Description
- A compressed file format that uses LZMA (Lempel-Ziv-Markov chain Algorithm) compression for higher compression ratio and fast decompression. Mainly used by 7-Zip file archivers.
- A ZIP file is an archive that contains one or more files compressed or "zipped" using Zip compression. It stores files separately from each other allowing the files to be compressed using different methods and extracted without compressing or decompressing the entire archive.
