Homonym: .zip (Compression)
A ".zip" file is a compressed file format used to store one or more files in a single archive. This compression reduces the overall file size, making it easier to share and store data. The ".zip" format is widely supported across various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Users can create and extract ".zip" files using built-in tools or third-party software like WinRAR or 7-Zip. This format is commonly used for sending large files via email or for organizing multiple files into a single package, simplifying file management and transfer.
