File management is very important on Windows, as it allows you to save storage space for other files and documents. In this article, we will learn how to zip and unzip files.

Occasionally, you'll need to open several compressed files from one ZIP folder. While Windows does a fine job extracting, there are better tools to unzip.

7-Zip is a free, open-source file archiver with a high compression ratio. This software can be used on any computer, including the ones in a commercial organization.

Earlier this year, we reported on Microsoft expanding its compression support in Windows 11 to include native RAR, 7-Zip, and other file formats that aren't your basic ZIP files.

To unzip a file on your computer or phone, you can use tools that come pre-installed on the device. In some cases, using a third-party app might help.

7-zip has finally added support for the long-requested 'Mark-of-the-Web' Windows security feature, providing better protection from malicious downloaded files.
