7-Zip vs WinRAR vs WinZIP: The Best Tool for File Compression
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In boxing there were Ali, Frazier and Foreman. In games consoles there are Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, and in PC compression software there are 7-Zip, WinRAR and WinZIP. Am I overselling this software showdown? Maybe, but it’s still an important one.
|
||||
|
||||
All three of these programs perform the same function, allowing you to grab a bunch of files on your computer and pack them tightly into an archive, shrinking their file size until someone decides to unpack them. They’re all easy to use, but which one does the best job? I put them to the test to find out.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: while there are plenty of other compression formats, Winzip, 7Zip and WinRAR are the three most popular compression tools for Windows. That is why we are only comparing these three.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: for the test, I compressed a bunch of uncompressed video files amounting to 1.3GB of space. I also tested them using their best compression settings rather than the default ones. For each program, I describe how to enable these settings.
|
||||
|
||||
### 7-Zip lands the first big punch by being FREE
|
||||
|
||||
It’s worth prefacing this piece by saying the open-source 7-Zip already holds an edge by being free with no strings attached. WinRAR is essentially free, except you have to tolerate an annoying prompt telling you your trial’s expired each time you open it. (You basically pay to get rid of this prompt.) WinZip, on the other hand, locks you out after your evaluation period.
|
||||
|
||||
### WinZip
|
||||
|
||||
In today’s world where we inexplicably expect everything software-related to be free, WinZip boldly stands in the face of our expectations by charging £25.95 after the trial period. But maybe that’s because it does a better job than its rivals, justifying its audacious price tag? Let’s see.
|
||||
|
||||
WinZip has an option to compress files into the .zipx format where it claims to have a higher compression rate than .zip and the rest of the competition. To do this, select and right-click the files you want to compress, then click to “WinZip -> Add to Zip” the files. When WinZip opens, select “.Zipx” under “Compression Type” then start unzipping.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are my results using both of WinZip’s compression methods:
|
||||
|
||||
* .Zip: 855MB (34% compression)
|
||||
* .Zipx: 744MB (43% compression)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### WinRAR
|
||||
|
||||
WinRAR compresses files in the RAR format (it’s all in the name), and there are also a few tricks you can do to get the most compression out of it.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you’ve selected the files you want to compress, right-click them, click “Add to archive,” then tick the “Create solid archive” box. Next, click the drop-down under “Compression method” and change it to “Best.” WinRAR also has an apparently enhanced compression method called RAR5, so I tested that out as well as the standard compression method. Here’s what we got:
|
||||
|
||||
* .rar: 780MB (40% compression)
|
||||
* .rar5: 778MB (40% compression)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 7-Zip
|
||||
|
||||
There are no evaluation versions or prices to pay here, but does that come at a cost of compression quality? To test it properly, select the files you want to compress, right-click them, select 7-Zip then “Add to archive.”
|
||||
|
||||
In the new window change the Compression method to LZMA2 (if you have a 4-core or stronger CPU), set the Compression level to Ultra, and compress away! Here’s the outcome:
|
||||
|
||||
* .7z: 758MB (42% compression)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### Conclusion
|
||||
|
||||
Based on these results, I’m going to be sticking with 7-Zip. The 1% difference in compression levels between it and the technical “winner” WinZip aren’t nearly enough to warrant forking out money for it.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Or maybe you don’t want to download any third-party software at all, in which case you can use Windows’ built-in compression tool. To use it, just right-click whatever you want to compress, select “Send to,” then “Compressed folder.” It only compressed the files down to 892MB (31%), but it’s quick, free and built-in so who are we to complain?

7-Zip vs WinRAR vs WinZIP: 最好的文件压缩工具对比
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
在拳击里有阿里，弗雷泽和福尔曼。在游戏机里有任天堂，索尼和微软，在 PC 压缩软件里有7-Zip，WinRAR和WinZIP。我要吹嘘这个软件的对决？也许，但是它一直是一个重要的软件。
|
||||
|
||||
这三个程序有同样的功能，你可以获取一堆你电脑上的文件然后打包压缩他们到一个归档，压缩他们的文件大小直到有人决定取出他们。他们都易于使用，但是哪个做的更好？我拿他们做了一个测试来找出答案。
|
||||
|
||||
注意：虽然还有很多其他的压缩格式，Winzip，7Zip和WinRAR是三个Windows上最流行的压缩工具。那就是为什么我们只对比这三个工具。
|
||||
|
||||
注意：为了测试，我压缩了一堆未压缩的视频文件总计1.3GB的空间。我还使用最好的压缩设置来测试他们而不是默认的设置。对于每个项目，我描述了如何使这些设置。
|
||||
|
||||
### 7-Zip 出了免费这一大招
|
||||
|
||||
值得说开源的7-Zip是免费的，没有附加条件的这一块已经拥有优势。WinRAR本质上是免费的，除了你必须忍受每次打开它时恼人的提示告诉你试用过期了。（你付款主要是为了摆脱这个提示。）而另一方面，WinZip在试用期结束后会锁定你。
|
||||
|
||||
### WinZip
|
||||
|
||||
在今天的世界里，我们莫名其妙地期望的一切与软件相关的都是免费的，与我们的预期相悖,WinZip大胆的在试用期后收费£25.95。不过，也许是因为它比竞争对手做得更好，证明其大胆的价格标签？让我们来看看。
|
||||
|
||||
WinZip有一个选项可以把文件压缩成.zipx格式，它生成拥有比.zip和其他竞争者更高的压缩比。要做到这一点，选择并右键单击要压缩文件，然后单击“WinZip - >添加到压缩”文件。当WinZip的打开后，选择“.Zipx”下的“压缩类型”，然后开始压缩。
|
||||
|
||||
这里是我们使用两种WinZip的压缩方法结果：
|
||||
|
||||
* .Zip: 855MB (34% 压缩)
|
||||
* .Zipx: 744MB (43% 压缩)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### WinRAR
|
||||
|
||||
WinRAR压缩的文件是RAR格式（这是所有的名字），也有一些技巧可以获得最大的压缩。
|
||||
|
||||
一旦你选择要压缩文件，右击它们，请单击“添加到压缩文件”，然后勾选“创建可靠的归档”复选框。下一步，单击下的“压缩方式”的下拉列表，将其更改为“最佳”。WinRAR的还有一个叫做RAR5的明显增强的压缩方法，所以我测试了这一点，以及标准的压缩方法。下面是我们得到的：
|
||||
|
||||
* .rar: 780MB (40% 压缩)
|
||||
* .rar5: 778MB (40% 压缩)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 7-Zip
|
||||
|
||||
这里没有评估版或付费版，但是随之而来的压缩质量成本是多少？要正确测试它，选择要压缩文件，右击它们，选择的7-Zip然后选择“添加到压缩文件”。
|
||||
|
||||
在新的窗口中更改压缩方法 LZMA2（如果你有一个4核或更强的CPU），压缩级别设置为极端，然后压缩！这里的结果：
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
* .7z: 758MB (42% 压缩)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
### 结论
|
||||
|
||||
基于以上结果，我将继续坚持使用7-zip。和技术上的“赢家”WinZip比，这1%差别的压缩水平不足以为此花钱。
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
或许你并不想下载任何第三方软件，在这种情况下，你可以使用Windows的内置压缩工具。要使用它，只需右键单击任何你想压缩的文件，选择“发送到”，然后“压缩文件夹。”它只把文件压缩到892MB的水平（31％），但它更便捷快速，而且是免费和内置的，所以我们还有抱怨吗？
