File Compression app (or website) is a computer application or software that is used to compress files in order to reduce their size, which in turn makes them easier to share, store and manage. File Compression apps typically allow users to compress multiple files into a single compressed file (also known as an archive or a zip file). The file might be compressed using various algorithms, such as ZIP, RAR, 7-zip, gzip and bzip2. File Compression apps also offer advanced features such as password protection, encryption and splitting of large files into smaller chunks. Once the files are compressed, they can be easily shared across various platforms such as email, social media networks, cloud storage and FTP. Compressed files can also be shared over the internet and can be used to transfer large data quickly and securely.
