7zr is a minimal, reduced version of the 7-Zip command-line tool that only supports the 7z format. It's the lightest-weight option in the 7-Zip family.
7zr is ideal when:
- Only 7z format is needed
- Minimal dependencies are desired
- Embedding in scripts or systems with size constraints
The command syntax matches 7z and 7za. For 7z-only operations, 7zr provides the smallest footprint.

7zr only handles the 7z format. It cannot process ZIP, TAR, GZIP, or any other formats.
No encryption support in some builds.
The "r" stands for "reduced" - minimal format support, not recursive.
