ZIP
7-Zip creates ZIP compatible archives. 7-Zip supports the following ZIP compression methods:
- 0 - Store
- 1 - Shrink (decompression only)
- 6 - Implode (decompression only)
- 8 - Deflate
- 9 - Deflate64
- 12 - BZip2
- 14 - LZMA
- 95 - xz (decompression only)
- 98 - PPMd
- 99 - WinZip AES
Files compressed with other ZIP compression methods can't be extracted by the current version of the 7-Zip. But these supported methods are the most popular today, and therefore 7-Zip can decompress most ZIP archives. To extract files compressed with non-supported methods you must use some other ZIP utility.
7-Zip supports the Zip64 extension of ZIP format.
LZH
7-Zip supports LZH archives only for listing, browsing and decompressing. 7-Zip supports -lh0-, -lh4-, -lh5-, -lh6- and -lh7- methods.
