What is 7-Zip?

7-Zip is...File compression programs reduce file sizes or combine multiple files into a single file for easier copying to storage devices or sending via email. This program works on the same principle as commercially available file compression programs like WinZIP and WinRAR. It is freeware and can work with files, using compression (add) and extraction (extract) functions.

7-Zip is a high-compression file program. Generally, 7z compression offers better compression ratios than zip (30-70%). Compared to the zip format, the high compression in the newer 7z format supports the LZMA compression format. It supports various file compression and extraction formats, including 7z, ZIP, GZIP, BZIP2, and TAR for initial compression and 7z, ZIP, RAR, GZIP, GZ, BZIP2, BZ2, TAR, CAB, ISO, ARJ, LZH, LHA, CHM, MSI, WIM, Z, CPIO, RPM, DEB, CPIO, DMG, FAT, HFS, LZMA, NTFS, SPLIT, SWM, TAZ, TBZ, TBZ2, TGZ, TPZ, VHD, XAR, XZ, Z, and NSIS for extraction. It integrates with the Windows Shell, has a powerful File Manager, and supports 70 languages.

- Some bugs and vulnerabilities were fixed.


26.01          2026-04-27
-------------------------
- linux version of 7-Zip can use huge pages (2 MB pages). It can increase compression
  speed for 10% for 7z/xz/LZMA/LZMA2 compression.
- new -spo[d|c|r] switch specifies the path generation mode for the output directory
  for archive extraction. The output directory path is generated from the path specified
  in the -o{dir_path} switch and the name of the archive being unpacked.
    -spod : for Linux/Posix/macOS: -o{dir_path} specifies the direct path to the output directory.
            The asterisk (*) character in {dir_path} will not be replaced by the archive name.
    -spoc : 7-Zip will concatenate the path specified in -o{dir_path} with the archive name
            to form the final path to the output directory.
    -spor : 7-Zip will replace asterisk (*) character in the path specified in the -o{dir_path}
            with the archive name. This is the default option.
Some bugs were fixed.
- CVE-2026-48095 : A vulnerability was fixed : Heap buffer overflow in the NTFS archive handler.
