OptiPNG is a PNG optimizer that recompresses image files to a smaller size, without losing any information. This program also converts external formats (BMP, GIF, PNM and TIFF) to optimized PNG, and performs PNG integrity checks and corrections.

FLAC is a free lossless compressed audio format which supports streaming and archival. The FLAC project maintains the format and provides a reference encoder/decoder and input plugins for several popular audio players.

FreeArc combines best 7-zip and RAR features: auto-selected LZMA/PPMD/Multimedia compression, 1gb dictionary, exe/dict/delta data filters, updatable solid archives, SFXes, recovery record, AES+Twofish+Serpent encryption, Linux support and much more...

Lossless compressor for multichannel 8,16 and 24 bits audio data, with the ability of password data protection. Being 'lossless' means that no data/quality is lost in the compression - when uncompressed, the data will be identical to the original.

KGB Archiver is the compression tool with unbelievable high compression rate. It surpasses even such efficient compression tool like 7zip and UHARC in terms of the abilities. KGB Archiver uses AES-256 encryption to encrypt archives.

pngcrush and other tools for manipulating PNG (Portable Network Graphics) and MNG (Multiple-image Network Graphics) files.

Abbrevia is a compression toolkit for Delphi, C++Builder, Kylix, and Free Pascal. It supports compressing and decompressing PKZIP, Microsoft CAB, tar, gzip, and bzip2 archives, and can create self-extracting executables. On Windows it also provides Delphi wrappers for the LZMA, Bzip2, and WavPack SDKs, and PPMd decompression. Abbrevia also has several visual controls that simplify displaying and manipulating archives, including treeview and listview components.

Moved to GitHub.com/gdraheim/zziplib/ The ZZIPlib provides read access on ZIP-archives. The library uses only the patent-free compression-algorithms supported by Zlib. It provides functions that transparently access files being either real files or zipped files, both with the same filepath

Compressor.js is a lightweight JavaScript library for in-browser image compression that allows developers to reduce file sizes before uploading images to a server, improving performance and user experience. It works by taking an input image (such as from a file input) and resizing or reencoding it on the client side according to developer-specified options like maximum width, height, quality, and MIME type. Because compression happens in the browser, users upload smaller images without sacrificing responsiveness or relying on server resources, which is especially useful for mobile users or limited-bandwidth environments. The library supports modern browsers and automatically handles orientation based on EXIF metadata, ensuring images appear correctly after compression.

A portable version of the ARJ archiver, available for a growing number of DOS-like and UNIX-like platforms on a variety of architectures.

ARC is used to create and maintain file archives. An archive is a group of files collected together into one file in such a way that the individual files may be recovered intact. This repo is obsolete. Use github.com/hyc/arc instead.

minidjvu is a DjVu encoder for black-and-white images.

Zip-Ada is a library for .zip archives. Full sources are in Ada and are unconditionally portable. Input and output can be any stream (file, buffer,...) for archive creation as well as data extraction. Task safe and endian-neutral. More information on: http://unzip-ada.sf.net Alire crate: https://alire.ada.dev/crates/zipada Mirror: https://github.com/zertovitch/zip-ada/

J7Z is an alternative 7-Zip GUI. It was designed by Xavion. 7-Zip is a high-compression file archiver. It was designed by Igor Pavlov. Use J7Z if you want to: * Update existing archives quickly * Backup multiple folders to a storage location * Create or extract protected archives * Lessen effort by using archiving profiles and lists

AZip is a free Zip Archive Manager with unique features such as: built-in content Search, smart archive Update, archive Recompression. The goal is to keep the user interface as simple as possible and bother the user the least possible with options or useless gadgets.

`archivemail' is a tool written in python for archiving and compressing old email in mailboxes. It can move messages that are older that the specified number of days to a mbox-format mailbox compressed with gzip, or optionally just delete old email.

Flake is an open-source FLAC audio encoder.

The littleutils include duplicate file finders (repeats, repeats.pl, repeats.py), image optimizers (opt-jpg, opt-png, opt-gif, recomp-jpg), file rename tools (lowercase, uppercase, pren), archive recompressors (to-gzip, to-bzip2, to-bzip3, to-7zip, to-lzma, to-lzip, to-xz), a tempfile utility (tempname), file property tools (filedate, filemode, filenode, fileown, filesize, and lrealpath), and others. See the README file for more details.
