What is a ZIP File and How to Extract It?
A ZIP file is a compressed archive that bundles multiple files and folders into one. While it's great for storage and sharing, you need to "extract" or "unzip" the content to use the files normally. Traditionally, this required software like WinRAR, but modern technology allows you to do it directly in your browser.
