About
GNU Gzip is a popular data compression program originally written by Jean-loup Gailly for the GNU project. Mark Adler wrote the decompression part. We developed this program as a replacement for compress because of the Unisys and IBM patents covering the LZW algorithm used by compress. These patents made it impossible for us to use compress, and we needed a replacement. The superior compression ratio of gzip is just a bonus. Stable source releases are available on the main GNU download server (HTTPS, HTTP, FTP) and its mirrors; please use a mirror if possible. gzip reduces the size of the named files using Lempel-Ziv coding (LZ77). Whenever possible, each file is replaced by one with the extension ‘.gz’, while keeping the same ownership modes, access, and modification times. (The default extension is ‘z’ for MSDOS, OS/2 FAT, and Atari.) If no files are specified, the standard input is compressed to the standard output.

About
Year after year, the amount of data being stored and exchanged around the world increases at an exponential rate. Costs for data storage and transmission continue to grow, whether organizations maintain their files on-premises or in the cloud. An efficient, flexible solution for data compression is essential for managing costs and resource demands. Having introduced the ZIP file format nearly three decades ago, PKZIP continues to set the worldwide standard for data compression and file management. With PKZIP, organizations can compress files by up to 95%, reducing storage costs and greatly improving file transmission times. PKZIP can handle even the largest compression tasks, with capabilities to include more than 2 billion files in a single archive and compress files over 9 exabytes in size. PKWARE’s lossless compression technology ensures that all data (including file metadata) is retained when a file is zipped.
