What is a ZIP Archive File?

A ZIP archive file is a container that stores one or more files or directories in a compressed format. It's widely used for packaging multiple files together, reducing file size, and simplifying file transfer and storage.

Key Features of ZIP Files:

• Compression: ZIP files use lossless data compression to reduce the overall size of the contained files.
• File Grouping: Multiple files and folders can be bundled into a single ZIP archive.
• Cross-platform Support: ZIP files are supported by most operating systems and many applications.
• Password Protection: ZIP archives can be encrypted to secure their contents.

Common Uses:

• Reducing file sizes for easier sharing or storage
• Bundling related files together for distribution
• Compressing backups
• Packaging software installations

ZIP files can be created and extracted using built-in tools on most operating systems or third-party software like 7-Zip, WinZip, or WinRAR.
