What is a .PAQ7 file?

A .PAQ7 file is a type of file that has been made smaller using a special method by a program called PAQ, specifically its 7th version. This is why it's called a PAQ7 Compressed Archive. When files are compressed, they take up less space on your computer, making it easier to store more files or to send them over the internet more quickly. The PAQ7 version uses its own special way of making files smaller, which is different from other versions or other compression tools.

To open a .PAQ7 file, you need to use the PAQ7 program. This is because the unique way it compresses files means only PAQ7 knows how to correctly make them big again so you can use them. Just like you need a specific key to open a lock, you need the PAQ7 program to open a .PAQ7 file.
