Compression Performance: 7-Zip, MagicRAR, WinRAR, WinZip
Compression Performance: 7-Zip, MagicRAR, WinRAR, WinZip
We're taking a look at the the features, performance, and compression rates of four file archiving and compression tools: the free and open source 7-Zip, the heavyweight WinRAR, the old-school WinZip, and the lesser-known MagicRAR. Tests find the best compression software is not what you think it will be. Read more here: Compression Performance: 7-Zip, MagicRAR, WinRAR, WinZip : Compression: Your Data, On A Diet I was amazed which one won, and yes it is installed on all my machines.

One thing I like about WinRAR is that it never actually expires!

It's difficult to believe such benchmarking when they're so obviously favoring one over the others. WinRar "heavyweight"? WinZip "old school"? Seems like the guy never used neither of them.
I've been using WinRar for years, and forced to use 7Zip in work for some time too. 7Zip has nice performance and a great ratio generally, but only marginally better than WinRar, but WinRar has a LOT more options and a far better usability that makes it worthwhile. WinZip is THE standard, but technically has a lot to improve. |

WinZip 8.1 I'm having trouble using WinZip version 8.1 under Win7. Under XP, WinZip has two nice features: - the context (right click) menu includes "Extract to current folder" - it is possible to drag-and-drop folders onto a .zip file Both of these features are inoperable in Win7. The context... |

WinZip 12.1 I found that with WinZip 12.1 if I select more than 16 files the right click context menu does not list WinZip. With 16 or fewer files the WinZip icon appears in the menu. (FYI - I had the same problem with version 12.0) I just downloaded and installed the latest release 12.1 Build 8519 but... |
