About these formats

Source

LZMA

Lempel–Ziv–Markov chain Algorithm

High-ratio compression used by 7-Zip and the .lzma format. Predecessor to LZMA2/XZ — offers excellent compression but slower speeds.

Best for

Maximum compressionEmbedded systems firmwareSingle-file compression7-Zip archives

Advantages

  • + Excellent ratio
  • + Low decompression memory
  • + Open source
  • + Used in 7z format

Limitations

  • Slow compression
  • No multi-threading
  • Superseded by XZ/LZMA2
  • High compression memory
Target

7Z

7-Zip Archive

High-compression archive format by Igor Pavlov using the LZMA/LZMA2 algorithm. Typically achieves 30–70% better compression ratios than ZIP. Open-source and free under LGPL.

Best for

Maximum compressionLarge file archivingSoftware distributionSpace-constrained backups

Advantages

  • + Best-in-class compression
  • + Strong AES-256 encryption
  • + Open format (LGPL)
  • + Solid archive mode

Limitations

  • Slower than ZIP
  • Not natively supported on all OS
  • Slower random access
  • High memory usage at max compression
