A huge amount of information that is stored on the Internet has a compressed size, that is, it is stored in special archives that cannot be opened without special software.
Archivers
A user downloading information on the Internet, especially on a tablet, may find that most of the downloaded files are in special archives. This is mainly done to ensure that large files are downloaded faster. Archives have one feature - just download and view what is in them will not work for the user. This requires a special archiver.
Archivers for mobile devices
There are many different archivers for mobile devices based on Android OS. For example, you can use the AndroZip program, which can be easily found on the Internet. This program allows you to open archives with extensions: RAR and 7Z. In addition, the user can easily and simply zip any file in the GZIP and TAR formats. In order to open the archive, you need to launch the program itself and go to the directory with the archive, then click on it, and it will open. The user can unpack the archive into the specified folder, but for this he will need to click on a special button in the menu above ("Unzip"). The archiving procedure follows the same principle.
In addition, you can use the ZArchiver application, which, unlike the previous software, is able to open and view archives in almost any format (zip, 7z (7zip), bzip2, rar, gzip, iso, xz, arj, tar, cab, lha, lzh, lzma). It goes without saying that the user can archive the necessary files and folders. It can create the following archive formats: zip, 7z (7zip), gzip (gz), bzip2 (bz2), XZ, tar. Sometimes, instead of archivers, you can use conductors, for example, ES explorer is ideal for Android OS. The only difference from archivers is that you cannot create archives with it, but you can view the downloaded ones.
For iOS devices, there is the iZip application, which has a pleasant and intuitive interface, and also allows you to create and view archives. For such devices, there is another rather popular analogue - WinZip. This same program is used on computers. They are both capable of viewing files in the following formats: rar, gzip, iso, zip 7z, as well as creating archives: tar, 7z, zip and others. These programs can be easily found in the AppStore, purchased and downloaded.
