| What is Zip & its Importance? |
| Zip files are so called because a zip file contains one or multiple files in a compressed format. Zip is also a common format for storing archives. Common file formats for zip files are .zip or .ZIP. Zip compresses every file individually and doesn’t compress all files together in one file. This makes it easier to open a file in a zip file separately and independently of other files in the same zip file. It has been seen that most of the files which are put up on various websites for download through internet are usually stored in the zip file format because it makes it faster to download the files as it consumes less of bandwidth. The term “Extract” is used to denote opening of an individual file from a compressed zip file. You can create zip files, extract files and unzip Zip files by using zip file programs. PKZip and WinZip are commonly used zip file programs also called utilities. PKZip was first written for DOS operating system. Its place is now occupied by WinZip for Windows operating system. Extracting a file is synonymously used for unzipping a file from a zip file. There are more advanced features under zip program like you can create password protected zip files to restrict access to information it contains, set desired compression level, create self-extracting zip files. To unzip a file or in other words open a zipped file, you need to have a utility software on your system. A utility software can unzip individual files from a zip file. The most popular unzip utility software used is WinZip. Once you’ve downloaded WinZip on your system, you just have to double-click on the file icon to open the zipped file. You might be thinking, ‘Wow, what a great function to make use of.’ At the same time, you now have started using this great function to take its full advantage and as you generally have to deal with regular transmission of big and multiple files, you now always zip them to make it easier and faster for you to mail and transfer.
