Compressed file format refers to the file format after the file is compressed by the program.
Any file stored on the computer has its format, such as text format like. txt.doc, picture format. jpg.tif.bmp, etc. All compressed files also have compressed formats. Generally, the compression format we see is rar.zip, but the main function of compression is to make a file occupy less space. For example, it was originally 30MB and can be compressed to more than 20 MB.

Universal extension-file description
*. Compressed files
Rar is a common compression format. Moreover, rar is a patent file format, which was developed by Russian Eugene Rochelle and mainly used for data compression and archiving. The full name of rar is "Rochard Archives", which means "Rochelle Archives" when translated into Chinese. Compared with another common compression format zip, rar compression format has a higher compression ratio, but it also has the characteristics of slow compression and decompression.
* .7z-7-Zip compressed file
7-zip compression format is a free open source compression software format. 7-zip is a software released based on GNU LGPL protocol, which is completely open source. 7-zip greatly improves the compression ratio through a brand-new algorithm. 7-zip not only has a higher compression ratio than zip, but also occupies less system resources than rar.
*. Compressed files
Zip file compression format is another common data compression and document archiving storage format. The inventor of zip is American Phil Katz, and the introduction of zip format is earlier than rar. Because of the early appearance of zip, the compression format of zip and its successors has some shortcomings that cannot be ignored. For example, the original sound of zip does not support unicode, which easily leads to difficulties in sharing some resources, and garbled codes will appear in compression and decompression, especially in East Asian cultural circles.
