decompressor

File expansion tool

A decompressor is a device or program that restores compressed data to its original form.

In computing, decompressors unpack files that have been reduced in size for storage or transmission: The video player includes a built-in decompressor.

In mechanical contexts, a decompressor is a valve that releases pressure from an engine cylinder to make starting easier.
