Single File Compression(8)
Compression algorithms that reduce the size of a single file. Often combined with TAR for multi file archives.
Gzip single file compression. Compresses one file at a time.
Bzip2 single file compression. Better ratio than gzip, slower speed.
XZ/LZMA2 single file compression. High ratio, moderate speed.
Raw LZMA compression. Used internally by 7Z and XZ.
LZ4 single file compression. Optimized for decompression speed.
Zstandard compression. Facebook developed, fast with good ratios.
LZMA based compression with CRC-32 integrity checking.
Unix compress (.Z). Legacy compression format from early Unix systems.
TAR.GZ is the standard distribution format for source code and Linux packages. If you regularly download open source software, this guide explains how to extract TAR.GZ archives on Mac without using the terminal.
7Z archives use LZMA2 compression and often produce smaller files than ZIP. UnFox handles them natively. Learn how to open 7Z files on Mac with full password support and progress tracking.
DMG files are the standard format for distributing macOS applications. If you have downloaded a disk image and need to access its contents, this guide covers how to open DMG files on Mac and extract the files inside.
