by Igor Pavlov · LGPL-2.1
A file archiver with a high compression ratio.
7-Zip is published on GitHub by its author, and that is the source this page points at. It matters because 7-zip.org lookalikes and ad-funded mirrors are common for a program this widely searched.
Take the x64 .exe for a normal Windows install. The .msi exists for deployment, the arm64 build for Windows on ARM, and the x86 one only if you are genuinely on 32-bit Windows.
The installer is small and complete, with no bundled offers and nothing fetched during setup. If a 7-Zip download you found asks you to accept extra software, you are not on the real one.
After installing, 7-Zip only takes the formats Windows does not handle unless you tell it otherwise in Tools, Options. People often think the install failed when double-clicking a .zip still opens Explorer. It did not.
These URLs are the ones Igor Pavlov declares in its own manifest. We do not proxy or shorten them, and we do not host a copy.
More than one architecture below. Check which one your Windows is if you are not sure.
Run this against the file on disk. If the output does not match the hash below, the file is not what Igor Pavlov published. Delete it.

Got a different hash, or one you cannot place? Paste it into the hash checker and it will tell you which program and version it belongs to, past releases included.
The unattended switch below is the one Igor Pavlov declares in the installer manifest, not one we guessed by trying flags.

msiexec /i "7z2602-x64.msi" /qn /norestartRun it from the folder holding the downloaded file, in a terminal opened as administrator when the package installs for all users. Silent means no window and no prompts, so check the exit code rather than waiting for something to appear: 0 is success and 3010 means it worked but wants a reboot.
Silent install commands for every program we index · silent uninstall
Every guide on this tells you to hunt for the product code with Get-WmiObject or in the registry. You do not need to: it is published in the installer manifest, and it is printed below.

If you have an older release installed, its code is different and this command will report that the product is not installed. In that case run Get-Package -Name "7-Zip*" in PowerShell to read the code of what you actually have.
This removes the program as the publisher packaged it. Settings and files created after installation, typically under AppData, are deliberately left behind by the uninstaller and have to be deleted by hand if you want them gone.
Reinstalling and hitting error 1638? That is this same product code, and the command above is the fix.

Extensions 7-Zip registers itself to handle.
The installer comes from a recognised distribution platform rather than Igor Pavlov's own domain. That is normal for this kind of software and not a red flag by itself.
Every one of the 6 installers on this page comes with the SHA-256 Igor Pavlov declared, so you do not have to take our word for it: hash the file you downloaded and compare.
What this does not tell you is whether the software itself is any good, or whether you want what it does once installed. A publisher can ship something you would rather not run and the download is still authentic. We answer the question we can measure and leave the other one to you.
If Windows says “Windows protected your PC” when you run it, that is SmartScreen reporting reputation, not a malware verdict — it shows up on perfectly legitimate software from small publishers and on releases that are simply new. The reverse matters more: no warning does not mean the file was checked.
How the 95/100 score is calculated · why the source matters more than the reputation
Windows ships with a package manager, and this program is in it. The identifier below is the one Microsoft's repository uses, which is also where the download URL and hash on this page come from.
Install
winget install --id 7zip.7zip --exactUpgrade later
winget upgrade --id 7zip.7zipWhy --exact: without it winget matches on name as well as identifier, and a search that returns more than one package makes it stop and ask rather than install. Pinning the identifier is what makes the command safe to put in a script.
Not installing anything, or getting an error back? The commands that actually come up covers upgrading everything at once, what --include-unknown is for, and why winget can be missing from a machine that should have it.
The version history of 7-Zip, each release with the download URL the publisher declared at the time and the SHA-256 to check it against. Useful when an update breaks something and you need to downgrade to a build that worked.
We do not host any of these files and never re-upload them, which is the difference between this and an old-version download site.

Publishers take old builds offline without warning, so a link here can stop working even though the hash stays correct forever. If you already have the file, the hash is what matters: it tells you whether what you have is what they published.
Every 7-Zip version with a published manifest, newest first. The most recent ones are listed above with their file names and hashes.
Matched on the categories Igor Pavlov and others declare in their own manifests, so the grouping is theirs rather than ours. Each one has its official URL and hash on the same terms as this page.
Not related to 7-Zip — just other entries, each with its own official URL and published hash.
