Quick Answer

File compression reduces file size by removing redundancy using algorithms like ZIP, GZIP, or 7z. To compress files, select files or folders, choose a compression format, and create the archive. Compressed files are smaller for storage and faster to transfer. ZIP is the most universally compatible format.

Key Features

  • ZIP is the most widely compatible compression format across all platforms
  • 7z offers better compression ratios but requires compatible software
  • GZIP is commonly used for web content and Linux systems
  • Compression works best on text, documents, and uncompressed data
  • Already compressed files (JPG, MP3, MP4) won't compress much further
  • Password protection can be added to compressed archives
  • Browser-based compression processes files locally without uploads
