Every File Compression Format Explained in 8 minutes

Whenever we want to compress a file, no matter what program we're using, most of us just pick a format and hit OK. We probably assume there's no real difference between ZIP, RAR, and 7z. But guess what? There actually is! In this video, we're gonna break down how these formats differ, what compression actually is, how it works, which formats are the most powerful, what compression algorithms are, and a whole lot more. And trust me, once you understand all this stuff, you'll never look at compression formats the same way again. In fact, the next time you compress a file, you might actually stop for a second and think about which format to choose!

Formats we explained in this video are:
1️⃣ zip
2️⃣ tar
3️⃣ 7z
4️⃣ rar
5️⃣ gz
6️⃣ bz2
7️⃣ xz
8️⃣ z

Video TIMESTAMP:

3:31 | .7z
4:15 | .rar
5:02 | .gz
5:53 | .bz2
6:21 | .xz
6:54 | .z

Of course, like I mentioned a few times throughout the video, there are way more than just these 8 compression formats. In fact, there are probably hundreds of others, each with its own features and capabilities. But the 8 I covered in this video are some of the most famous and widely used ones. Now, if you want me to make a part 2, let me know in the comments! Personally, I don't think it's really necessary, but if you guys want it, I'll make it!✊️😀
