What Are Zip Files?

Zip files are archives that contain compressed files. Every zip file contains one or more files inside it. These files contained inside the zip file are compressed - they take up less space! This is very important if we wish to conserve disk space, or transfer files on the internet.

You can use Visual Zip Studio to create your own zip files, and uncompress the files inside zip files created by other people. Also, most of the programs you download from the internet are compressed into zip files. In this case, you can use Visual Zip Studio to install these programs.
