honestly love this archiver!!
I've been using 7-Zip for weeks now and it just blows my mind how fast it compresses big files, no bloat at all!! The AES‑256 encryption feels super secure and it handles every format I throw at it, even weird RAR ones. Definitely definatly my go‑to tool for any archiving task!!

Fast, reliable, but badly needs a redesign
I zip up heavy design asset packs for clients every single day, and 7-Zip handles them instantly without eating up my RAM. It's rock-solid, super fast, and opens every weird file format thrown at it without any fuss. As a designer, my only minor gripe is how ancient the interface...
