Here is a complete overview of the SOZip specification, features, and implementations based on the project documentation: and converting standard ZIPs to SOZip

SOZip files are standard ZIP files. Non-SOZip-aware software can still open them, but will not benefit from the enhanced seeking speed.

Using a file from a SOZip archive typically has only about ~10% overhead compared to accessing the same file uncompressed. Technical Specifications Compression: Must use Deflate method (
