Creating a zip file is a useful way to compress multiple files into a single file, making it easier to store, send, or share them. In this article, we will guide you through the steps to make a zip file.
How to Make a Zip File?
To create a zip file, follow these steps:
- Select the files you want to include in the zip file. You can choose multiple files by holding down the Ctrl key (or Command key on Mac) while clicking on the files.
- Right-click on one of the selected files and choose "Send to" from the context menu.
- In the "Send to" submenu, click on "Compressed (zipped) folder".
- A new zip file will be created with the same name as the first selected file. You can rename the zip file by right-clicking on it and choosing "Rename".
That's it! You have successfully created a zip file containing your selected files. You can now move or share the zip file as needed.
Keep in mind that creating a zip file does not compress the individual files within it. It simply combines them into a single file for convenience. If you want to compress the files to save space, you can use third-party compression software such as WinRAR or 7-Zip.
