7-Zip is one of the most popular and easy-to-use programs for archiving in Windows.
With it, you’re able to both create an archive and extract files from it.
In addition, this utility is completely free, and you might download it from the official site.
Lets take a closer look at how to use 7-Zip and what you need.
What is a 7-Zip app?

The utility is quite powerful and has all the tools common users need.
Usually, the password can be found on the web page where you downloaded the archive.
If you cant find it, attempt to reach out to the archive creator.
The thing is that it’s possible for you to only develop archives for limited formats.
They might be damaged if you want to compress the files too much.
I also recommend using a Password to protect your archive from unauthorized visitors.
you’ve got the option to set it in the bottom right section.
