How to zip

Zipping a file or folder is the process of compressing it into a smaller size so that it can be easily shared or stored.

Here’s how you can zip a file or folder on a Windows computer:

1. Right-click the file or folder you want to zip.
2. From the menu that appears, select “Send to” and then select “Compressed (zipped) folder.”
3. Windows will create a new, compressed file with the same name as the original file or folder, but with the “.zip” extension.
4. You can now share or store the zipped file as needed.

If you’re using a Mac computer, the process is similar:

1. Control-click the file or folder you want to zip.
2. Select “Compress [filename]” from the menu that appears.
3. A new, compressed file with the same name as the original file or folder, but with the “.zip” extension, will be created in the same location.
4. You can now share or store the zipped file as needed.

Note that the exact steps for zipping a file or folder may vary depending on the operating system or software you’re using, but the basic process should be similar.
