Create ZIP Files

ZIP is a data compression format containing one or more files that have been stored as they are or compressed to reduce the resulting archive's total size.

ZIP files can also contain metadata such as file comments, folder structure, and error detection.

ZIP archives feature high creation speed, and this, in most cases, that leads to one of their main disadvantage: a poor compression rate.

Today there are numerous apps that allow their users to quickly create ZIP archives by compressing their files.

Also, some of ZIP archivers offer users the option to protect their newly-created ZIP files with a password.
