Even though sharing large files nowadays is easier than ever, there are certain situations when you need to compress your files. Not only do archive put less strain on the recipients' computers, but they also have a positive boost on the bandwidth and transfer speed of the files.

7-Zip ZS is a fork of the notorious 7-Zip and provides a simple and straightforward way to create and decompress archives, verify files' hashes and test the compressed files for potential errors.

The GUI is similar to 7-Zip and hence, you should have no problem creating a new archive or decompressing data either from the interface or context menu.  Speaking of the context menu, this is a highly appreciated feature that makes managing compressed files considerably easier.

As far as the supported archives go, the application is compatible with numerous formats, including but not limited to ZIP, RAR, LZA, ARJ, TAR. GZ and ISO. As expected, the app includes a few extra codecs for the compression algorithm, namely Zstandard, Brotli, LZ4, LZ5, Lizard and Fast LZMA2.

A further noteworthy feature is the File Hash calculator, a handy option that enables you to verify the integrity of the compressed file you are managing. Unlike 7-Zip, the program can calculate several other hashes, such as XXH-64, XXH-32, BLAKE2sp, CRC-32, or CRC-64.

You can create an encrypted archive that is protected with a password, encrypt the file names, select the preferred update mode, split to volume, create SFX and choose the path mode. Regardless of the operation performed, you will be happy to learn that it consumes a low amount of system resources.

7-Zip ZS is a tiny and lightweight tool with extended support for archived files and that provides you with an effortless way to create, test, decompress and manage this type of files.
