How do I open .zip files?

New computers will usually have software installed to handle unzipping files. If yours doesn’t you will need to download a program such as WinRar, WinZip or 7zip. You can also read my blog post on how to open zip files on Windows or Macs.

.zip files are a compressed folder, so the reason for using them is to be able to send multiple files in one single file in a smaller file size. This will help reduce your download time.
