ZIP (file format)
The ZIP
file format is a popular
data compression and
archival format. A ZIP file contains one or more files that have been compressed, to reduce their file size, or stored as-is.The format was originally designed by
Phil Katz for
PKZIP. However, many software utilities other than PKZIP itself are now available to create, modify, or open (unzip, decompress) ZIP files, notably
WinZip,
BOMArchiveHelper,
KGB Archiver,
PicoZip,
Info-ZIP,
WinRAR,
IZArc,
7-Zip,
ALZip,
TUGZip,
PeaZip, Universal Extractor and Zip Genius. Microsoft has included built-in ZIP support (under the name "compressed folders") in later versions of its
Windows operating system. Apple has included built-in ZIP support in
Mac OS X 10.3 and later via the
BOMArchiveHelper utility.
