YZ1 Archive Format

YZ1 Converter

The Yamazaki Zipper (YZ1) file format was created by Japanese programmer Yamazaki Satoshi, using his proprietary compression format - a combination of LZ77 and Huffman encoding. YZ1 is typically used for file compression and decompression, otherwise known as archiving. As a now mostly obsolete format, with the last freeware application released in September 2000, this form of compression is rarely used.

The main use of the file format was with the Windows DeepFreezer file compression software, which was compatible with Windows and Linux operating systems. It had the ability to password protect and encrypt data, as well as high compression ratios and fast decompression. Software downloads, data backups and document storage were the most popular reasons to use the format. You may still be able to open YZ1 files on a Windows computer, using an application like TUGZip, IZArc, or ZipGenius.

ZIP Archive Format

ZIP Converter

The ZIP format was created in the late 1980s as a way of compressing files for archiving or sharing. Files are ‘zipped’ up into a new folder, usually saving it into a smaller file size. ZIP uses lossless compression and is reversible, so you can ‘unzip’ the folders and extract files without any impact on quality. As each file is compressed separately during ‘zipping’, you can easily extract or add individual files to a ZIP folder.

ZIP files became more popular with the rise in email use, as it was a simple way to share multiple larger files. The ZIP format is also often used to make back-ups, quickly transfer files between devices, and to allow quicker downloads from websites. Previously, users needed additional software to create ZIP folders. Now most operating systems, including Windows and iOS, let you easily zip and unzip files yourself.
