In order to open a Zip file, you will need a zip file extractor to unzip it, which will give you access to the individual files and folders contained within the zip file. This is useful when trying to share large files, multiple files or would like to organize files into a single zip file.

The best known zip file extractor is WinZip, which is a popular software for creating and extracting zip files, however it's famously hard to use and hard to get a free trial. If you'd like to try Winzip, you can search for terms like WinZip download or free WinZip or you can use Zipdoc for free right in your browser.

If you're using a Mac computer, you can search for terms like unzipper Mac or free unzip program to find a solution that works on a Mac but Zipdoc is also free and usable right in your browser on a Mac.
