"Compressing files into a ZIP folder is a great way to bring order to your digital life. By bundling everything together into a small archive, you free up storage while keeping related content together. You can even safely delete the original, since a copy is preserved. ZIP folders also make sharing large files much faster. Instead of waiting minutes for multi-gig downloads or uploads, compression cuts down on those transfer times to a fraction of what they'd be otherwise."
"Learning how to zip and unzip files is a basic skill every Windows 11 user should know. In the past, you would've had to install WinRAR or WinZip onto your computer, but those days are gone. Windows 11 has a built-in compression and extraction tool that handles everything for you. Below, I'll guide you through the process of zipping and unzipping files and folders; no extra software or PowerShell commands are required."
Compressing files into ZIP archives organizes files, reduces storage usage, and preserves copies so originals can be removed. ZIP archives accelerate sharing by shrinking large files and cutting transfer times. Windows 11 includes a native compression and extraction tool that removes the need for older third-party apps or PowerShell commands. Users can compress single or multiple files via the right-click context menu, using Ctrl or Shift for multiple selection, and rename the resulting ZIP file through the context menu. Third-party compression utilities remain available for users who need advanced features.
