Zip files compress your folders or files and save storage on your computer. They're also easier to send from device to device. Here's how to make one.

ZIP is a file format that’s often used to compress a file or more in one location. This allows them to take up less space. In turn, people can easily send them to others.

If you’re already using a utility like PKZip or WinZip to compress and decompress files, there’s little point in changing. But did you know Windows has Zip capabilities built right in?
