Bzip2 (represented by the .bz2 extension) is a high-quality data compression tool designed to compress single files using the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm. It is known for providing significantly better compression ratios than Gzip, though it typically requires more CPU power and time to process. 🛠️ How to Create and Use Bzip2 Files
Because Bzip2 only compresses individual files, it is frequently paired with tar to bundle multiple files or directories into a single .tar.bz2 archive. For Linux/Unix Users Compressing with Gzip and Bzip2 in Linux
