- 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.
- WinZip, starting with version 12.1, uses the extension .zipx for ZIP files that use compression methods newer than DEFLATE; specifically, methods BZip, LZMA, PPMd, Jpeg and Wavpack. The last 2 are applied to appropriate file types when "Best method" compression is selected.
