Really funny i just assumed windows simply wouldn't support this sort of thing because it was my first experience opening rar files, etc that windows just goes "nope, cant do that." (so you definitely need more than just zip in most cases i guess) but then something like Nvidia inspector is a rar file. Yeah, i see - still, as per above, whats the difference?Īlso i just looked at my more general programs and they are actually almost all zips or exes. I've seen rar and have downloaded it in the past, but they're so much less common that on a Windows PC, I genuinely can get by without 7zip or WinRAR installed on the system (though I would hate it). Google Drive, for example, compresses everything automatically as a zip archive. I've seen other formats used in the wild, but it's so infrequent compared to zip. I think that might just be your experience. Ps: the video was from the guy (Dave) who supposedly programmed it, amongst other things like Windows "taskmanager", pretty cool actually, i can link it if someone wants to see it, but i don't think it relates much to my question - because he doesn't talk about these more commonly used compression techniques / file archivers at all (and also seems a bit out of the loop regarding these things lol) So what's the deal with Windows' "zip" files not being used as much? (Yes, i can imagine some people use it more, but i just barely ever come across it, rar, etc is way more widespread in my experience) So whats the difference and why isnt zip, which is natively supprted by windows not used more widely? i always use 7zip, because that works with everything and almost nothing of the compressed folders/files i have is actually a "zip" file. That is all you need to know about compression tools for now.I just watched a video about windows "zip" support and how it got integrated into the OS, etc, i thought "oh cool, yeah i use that a lot!". Personally, I have been a long-time WinRAR user but looking at these objective truths I have switched camps and have become a 7-Zip enjoyer. If you do not use anything and need to make a quick decision on which tool to use then you should most likely use 7-Zip because it is free and does a better job at compressing your files while also being in constant development and improvement. If you on the other hand are already using 7-Zip, then there is no objective reason for you to bother switching to any other compression tool. If you are used to WinRAR and you enjoyed it, you can keep using it. WinRAR – faster compression rates while using a lighter algorithm, but is paid software and results in larger files.ħ-Zip – slower compression rate and requires more resources but results in smaller files with better compression and is completely free.īased on these conclusions it really just depends on what you prefer and what you have been using prior to reading this article. ![]()
