7-Zip alternative — browser document tools (honest)

Tentaco complements 7-Zip: PDF and media utilities vs open-source file archiver.

7-Zip is the standard free archiver — high-ratio compression, AES encryption and broad format support on desktop.

Tentaco handles PDF merge, OCR, invoice templates and video trim in the browser — different job than archive extraction. Many users want 'free local tools'; Tentaco extends that philosophy to documents without replacing 7-Zip.
