7ZIP [free]
7-Zip is a free and open-source file archiver, a utility used to place groups of files within compressed containers known as “archives”. It is developed by Igor Pavlov and was first released in 1999. 7-Zip uses its own 7z archive format, but can read and write several other archive formats.
In my opinion it is the best software. It is very light (taking up very little memory) and recognizes a considerable amount of file formats. The only flaw is the somewhat raw graphic interface. Often to open a file you will have to right-click on the icon, and go to the appropriate entries of 7zip

WINRAR [commercial]
Those who have been working with the PC for some years are certainly familiar with winzip, which was the most famous PC compressor in the 90s and early 2000s. The flaw of this software is that it is not free but paid. For the rest it has the same functions, although with a better and friendly interface
