This is a quick way to manipulate compressed files, allowing us to avoid accessing the program's main screen to perform basic actions. In the context menu, we can access the most common operations, such as file extraction, extracting the file into a directory, compressing the file, compressing it and sending it by e-mail, adding to an already existing zip file, and more. We can use the program's graphical interface or Windows explorer's 'Context Menu' when clicking the right mouse button on any file. The program has its compression format, whose name is 7z, which obviously can be compressed and uncompressed with 7zip. In addition, the program can create compressed files of the following formats: ZIP, TAR, GZIP, WIM, XZ, BZIP2, and XZ. Some formats it can decompress are ZIP, RAR, ARJ, GZIP, CAB, ISO, LZH, and more.

The program can decompress the vast majority of compression formats available in the market. 7-Zip emerges as an alternative to paid compressors programs, offering very similar characteristics and allowing the management of multiple compressed file formats.
