Compressed Files
Compressed files or archives contain one or more files or folders that have been compressed to take up less space on disk. Compression is especially useful when transferring files over the internet as it saves bandwidth and reduces the time required to download files. The most common compressed file extensions are .ZIP (Zip Compressed Archive) and .RAR (WinRAR Compressed Archive).
