"Compressing files into a ZIP folder is a great way to bring order to your digital life. By bundling everything together into a small archive, you free up storage while keeping related content together. You can even safely delete the original, since a copy is preserved. ZIP folders also make sharing large files much faster. Instead of waiting minutes for multi-gig downloads or uploads, compression cuts down on those transfer times to a fraction of what they'd be otherwise."
"To zip multiple files at once, hold Ctrl while selecting each item, then click Compress to > ZIP File. You can also hold Shift and click two items on opposite ends of a row to select everything in between. And that's it; you're done. Windows instantly creates a ZIP folder with the same name as the original. To rename it, simply right-click the ZIP file and select Rename."
Compressing files into ZIP folders consolidates related content, frees storage space, and preserves a compressed copy so originals can be deleted safely. ZIP compression reduces transfer times for multi-gig uploads and downloads. Windows 11 includes built-in compression and extraction tools that remove the need for third-party utilities or PowerShell commands. Users can right-click files or folders, choose Compress to > ZIP File, and select multiple items with Ctrl or Shift to compress batches. Windows creates a ZIP with the same name instantly; users can rename archives by right-clicking and selecting Rename. Third-party tools remain available with additional features.
