Compressed Files (ZIP, RAR, 7Z): What They Are and Why They Matter | Funifytools

Compressed files (e.g., .zip, .rar, .7z) shrink data and bundle many items into one, easing storage and transfer.

File size is measured in bytes (KB/MB/GB/TB); large or numerous files benefit most from compression.

Compression is lossless: extracting restores the exact originals for safe sharing and organization.

Windows handles basic ZIPs natively; advanced needs are covered by tools like 7-Zip, WinRAR, and ALZip.

Common formats include .zip (high compatibility), .rar (strong features), .7z (efficient/open-source), and .tar.gz (Linux).
