What is ezyZip?

ezyZip is a free online utility for opening and extracting 7z files online in your browser. It supports a myriad of other file formats and conversions.

Unlike other online archive extraction utilities, ezyZip DOES NOT require you to upload or download files to a server. It runs locally as a browser app, thus making it much quicker than other online file extractors. This also ensures your privacy will be protected as no file data will leave your browser.

What is a 7z file?

A file with a .7z extension utilises the 7z compression algorithm to package and compress files. The file format is used primarily to bundle multiple files for easier distribution or backup.
It utilises the open sourced LZMA compression method to pack data without quality degradation (i.e. lossless compression) The compression ratio of 7z is higher than a lot of the other commonly used archiving file formats.
