Of course, there are many file compression formats around besides ZIP, others such as RAR and 7z are also very well known.
Living in the internet age, it’s beneficial if a file can be compressed to half its size before you upload or download it, this can save bandwidth and time. Unlike JPG or MP3, ZIP is an archive format which allows you to store several files and also folders inside a single compressed ZIP file. One of the most popular and widely used file compression formats around today is ZIP which was developed by PKWare in 1989. Whether it’s game discs, Windows install discs, webpages, music, video, images, internet downloads or setup installers, most files are shrunk down from their original size to reduce the storage space they consume. Just about everything that gets stored electronically nowadays is compressed in some form or another.
