A ZIP file is an archive file format that utilizes lossless data compression in order to store multiple files together in a single container. This type of file has the extension .zip and can be used to compress any number of digital objects, including images, audio, video, or text documents. The ZIP format was initially developed in 1989 by Phil Katz for PKZIP and became the de facto standard for file compression over subsequent decades.
