brew install sevenzip
v26.01
LGPL-2.1-or-later AND BSD-3-Clause
High-compression file archiver supporting 7z, ZIP, RAR, and other formats with strong encryption.
Why you might care
7-Zip offers superior compression ratios compared to ZIP or TAR, particularly for 7z archives, and provides strong AES-256 encryption. Use it when you need maximum compression or cross-platform compatibility; it's the reference implementation of the 7z format and supports batch operations via CLI.
