A file with the 7Z extension is a compressed archive. It was created by Igor Pavlov in the late 1990s with the intention of making it easy to allow many files to be grouped together and compressed into a single, easy-to-distribute archive.
Along with individual files, the 7Z format allows multiple files and whole directory structures to be compressed and packed into a single container format. The compression algorithm used enables high compression ratios without any data loss.
To open 7Z files, there are several archive processing applications available. Some examples, such as 7-Zip and WinRAR, are able to open 7Z files.
7Z file types aim to provide a highly compressible container in which to place other files with the aim to reduce storage space used or to conveniently distribute many files. The format for 7Z archive file types is binary and, as such, contains a rigidly defined set of sequential bytes to identify the file type, regardless of what the filename extension may be.
Our 7Z repair tools can read several archive formats and algorithms; this is necessary to retrieve potentially damaged data from an archive file. If the 7Z file does need to be repaired, the actual compression algorithm will not be altered; only the data contained within will be changed.
