Check our videoThe ZIP file format is a widely used compression and archiving standard that allows multiple files and directories to be bundled into a single compressed file, reducing storage space and simplifying file transfers. It is supported by numerous applications, including built-in tools in operating systems like Windows and macOS, as well as third-party software like WinZip, 7-Zip, and WinRAR. The format uses a combination of lossless compression algorithms, supports encryption, and stores metadata such as file names, timestamps, and directory structures, with optional advanced features like split archives and error recovery.
The GZ file format is a widely used compression format that reduces file size using the DEFLATE algorithm, commonly associated with Unix and Linux systems. It is supported by tools like gzip, 7-Zip, and WinRAR, and is often used for compressing single files or combining with tar for multiple files. GZ files consist of a header, compressed data, and an optional footer, with features like CRC-32 checksums for data integrity and optional metadata for additional information.
You can also convert ZIP into many other file formats. Please see the complete list below.
