What is GZ (Gzip Archive)?
GZ, also known as Gzip, is a compressed archive format commonly used in Unix and Linux systems. It is designed to reduce the size of files for storage and transfer, using the DEFLATE compression algorithm.
The GZ format is typically used for single files, and when multiple files need to be compressed, it is often combined with a tarball (TAR) to create .tar.gz or .tgz files.
How to open GZ?
GZ files can be opened with built-in tools on Linux and macOS, such as the `gzip` command or `gunzip`. On Windows, you can use programs like 7-Zip, WinRAR, or WinZip to extract GZ files.
For graphical interfaces, file archivers like PeaZip or The Unarchiver (for macOS) also support GZ files. For command-line enthusiasts, tools like `gzip` and `tar` are efficient options.

How to create or convert GZ?
To create a GZ file, use the `gzip` command on Unix/Linux systems. For example, `gzip filename` will compress a file into `filename.gz`.
If you need to compress multiple files into a single GZ archive, first create a tarball with `tar -cf archive.tar file1 file2`, then compress it using `gzip archive.tar`.
To convert GZ to other formats like ZIP, you can extract the GZ file and then re-compress it using a tool like 7-Zip or WinRAR.
What is 7ZIP (7-Zip Archive)?
7ZIP (7-Zip Archive) is an open-source file archiver and compression format that provides high compression ratios. It is commonly used for compressing and decompressing files and folders.
7ZIP files are widely used for data backup, software distribution, and file sharing due to their efficient compression and support for multiple compression algorithms.
How to open 7ZIP?
7ZIP files can be opened using the 7-Zip software, which is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Other tools like WinRAR and PeaZip also support the format.
For extraction, you can use the 7-Zip software or any other compatible archive manager.
