What is an SQX file?

SQX files mostly belong to SQX Archiver by Sven Ritter. SQX files are files which are compressed through the SQX Archiver program developed by Rainer Nausedat, which is an open-source file compression and decompression tool. SQX files utilize a compression algorithm which is a variation of that of LZH files, where it contains one or more files which have been compressed in order to reduce their allotted disk space when transporting them to another location or simply storing them.

Main Usage: When handling multimedia information, SQX files contain numerous compression extensions, whilst additionally containing a high-speed audio (WAV) compressor. Furthermore, SQX files have integrated 128/256 bit AES file encryption where they are even responsible for the independent encryption of archive directories, whilst having inherently very strong and reliable encryption.
Compression: When SQX files are in an ultra compression mode, they are able to support LZ Dictionaries of up to 32768K, where additionally they normally support 32K to 4096K LZ Dictionaries.
