 how to zip a file?

Zipping a file means compressing it into a smaller, more manageable file size. Here are the steps to zip a file on a Windows and Mac computer:

Windows:

1. Locate the file you want to zip
2. Right-click the file and select "Send To"
3. Select "Compressed (zipped) folder"
4. A new zipped folder will be created with the same name as the original file
5. To add additional files to the zipped folder, simply drag and drop them into the folder.

Mac:

1. Locate the file you want to zip
2. Right-click (or control-click) the file and select "Compress"
3. A new zipped file with the .zip extension will be created
4. To add additional files to the zipped file, simply drag and drop them onto the zipped file.

Note: Zipping a file does not change the original file, it simply creates a compressed version. To access the contents of a zipped file, you need to unzip it.
