Compress-7zip each object

I'm trying to generate a script that goes to the directory and compresses each file to .zip with the same name as the file.

I managed with the compress-archive, however it has limitations for files up to 2gb.

so searching, I found compress-7zip, but it uses different parameters.

$InputFolder= "C:\Temp\teste"
$OutputFolder="C:\Temp\teste"

#coletando arquivos
$CsvFiles = Get-ChildItem $InputFolder -Filter '*.xlsx'

#loop compactar arquivos
$CsvFiles | ForEach-Object { 
    $zipSetName =  $_.BaseName + ".zip"
    Compress-7zip -Path $InputFolder -Format Zip -ArchiveFileName $zipSetName
}

But I am not having success doing this with compress-7zip, the above script does not work hehe, am I passing wrong parameters? doing it manually works, however throwing all files into a single file. could someone help me make the above script work, which compresses file by file.

You can read the function you mentioned here, including the parameter names.

In this case, use

$CsvFiles | ForEach-Object { 
    $zipSetName = [System.IO.Path]::ChangeExtension($_.FullName, '.zip')
    Compress-7zip -FullName $_.FullName -OutputFile $zipSetName -ArchiveType Zip 
}

P.S. I used the ChangeExtension method here because both your input and output paths are the same. If that is not the case, use

$zipSetName = Join-Path -Path $OutputFolder -ChildPath ($_.BaseName + '.zip')
