What is a ZIP file? By Richard Rost 13 years ago If you're sending a bunch of files or large files via the Web or email, you should compress them first by creating a ZIP file. This is just a way of packaging up multiple files into a single, relatively smaller file for transport. It's easier to send/manage ONE big file than it is to send a whole bunch of smaller files. Plus, ZIPping a bunch of files compresses them, so the resulting ZIP file is big, but it's usually smaller than the sum of the sizes of the little files. This speeds transfer times.
