Zip File - Definition
A Zip File is a file that contains one or more compressed documents. A zip file has an extension of .zip. It is usually used to send large graphic images over the internet in a reasonably short period of time. The most frequently used Zip program is Winzip. Once installed, you can extract documents from a zip file by double-clicking the file name. A window pops up, shows you the names of the files inside the zip file and allows you to extract one or all of the documents into a folder of your choice.
