File compression is so ubiquitous that it is now built into many operating systems as a standard feature. Zip files are generally the default archival format – occasionally replaced by RARs – but KGB Archiver is a tool that offers unparalleled levels of compression, although it does come at quite a price.

There is no financial cost associated with the program – which is in no way related to the former Russian security agency – but if you want to get the most from the app you are going to have to invest a good deal of time.

This is an app that claims to offer an 'unbelievably high compression rate' and the software developer produces figures claiming compression levels that are around twice that of the zip format.
