Many files that you download from the internet will be zip files. Zip files are archives used for distributing and storing files. Zip files can contain one or more files. Usually the files archived in a Zip are compressed to save space. Winzip will open automatically when you double-click a zip file in Windows Explorer or on your Desktop. Follow the easy-to-understand instructions to unzip your file. Use Winzip to compress large files that are shared or stored on external storage disks.
