Compression + archiving
(Multiple files => 1 file, makes it smaller)
- 7z - 7ZIP
- ACE ace
- ARC arc
- arc - ARC (FreeArc)
- arc, gz - ARC (Web Archiving)
- dmg - Apple Disk Image
- arj ARJ
- BRU - (RSX-11M backup)
- cab - Cabinet
- DWC dwc
- IMP imp
- Jar j, jar => this is just a renamed zip file with some mandatory files
- lzh, lha - LHAv
- PMA (.pma)
- RAR (.rar)
- Softlib (Softdisk Publishing)
- spk - Spark
- sit - Stuffit
- sitx - Stuffit X

- zoo - ZOO
Archiving only
(many files => 1 file, no compression attempted)
- arc - ARC (Internet Archive)
- hqx - BinHex
- LBR lbr
- tar - Tape Archive
- a lib - AR file format -- Unix Archiver (ar) format as used by various compilers/linkers
- CPIO cpio
- BagIt
Stream compression formats
A stream format takes a stream of bytes, and outputs a different, hopefully smaller, stream of bytes. These compression formats are often used internally in other data structures to compress data, as well as in network protocols, such as http. Used stand-alone, a stream compression format does not offer archiving capability, however in the UNIX doctrine, an archiver like tar can be combined with an archive format to produce a proper compressed archive.
