If you need to share a large file or multiple files, a compressed file takes up less storage space and can be sent faster because of its smaller file size. Learn how to compress or uncompress files on your iPhone or iPod touch.

If you selected one file, a ZIP file with the same filename saves to that folder. If you selected multiple files, a ZIP archive named Archive.zip saves to that folder. To change its name, touch and hold on the ZIP archive, then select Rename.

If you're looking for the fastest and easiest way to open a ZIP file on your iPhone, try Documents by Readdle. This is the best file manager and media player for iPhone and iPad. You can download Documents for free to do almost anything with your files.

Besides ZIP archives, Documents can handle a large variety of file types so you can read books, review PDFs, enjoy photos, listen to music, and watch videos. There's no need to look for multiple apps as Documents can open any file for you.



There is an alternative way to import your files to Documents. When you open a file in any app (e.g. Mail or Messages), just tap the standard Share button and select Documents from the list of suggested apps.


Decompressing a zip archive and opening the zip file is super easy in iPadOS and iOS with the Files app. This tutorial will walk through that process of extracting these archives on an iPhone or iPad.

If you have a zip archive that you know has tons of files contained within it, it may be a good idea to make a new folder in Files app, then move and relocate the zip file to that newly created folder before uncompressing it.

In the business world, documents are often compressed into ZIP files before being sent as email attachments in order to reduce the size of an email and to adhere to attachment file size limits that are commonplace in most work environments. By default, the iPhone cannot open ZIP files, but with the installation of free, third-party applications, you can ensure that you are able to access important documents within ZIP files whenever you need them. These apps also interface with your iPhone browser, making it possible to view the contents of ZIP files that you download from the Internet as well.

Starting with iOS 13, the built-in Files app on iPhone and iPad got the native support to zip (compress) and unzip (uncompress) files. As a result, you no longer need third-party apps to open ZIP files received by email, WhatsApp, Google Drive, iMessage, AirDrop, etc. Here is how you can easily create or extract ZIP files on iPhone and iPad running any recent version of iOS, including iOS 15.

1) Make sure the required files and folders are at the same location in the Files app. For example, if you want to create a ZIP file with several images, go to the Photos app > select the images > tap the share icon > Save to Files. You can do the same for any file type from different apps.

To open a ZIP file and view its content, all you need to do is tap the ZIP file inside the iPhone or iPad Files app. It will automatically unzip or extract the file and create a folder of the same name with all the contents.

Method 1: Tap the three dots next to a ZIP file inside Google Drive and tap Open in > Save to Files. Now, go to the Files app and tap the ZIP file to uncompress and open it.

Once you have downloaded and installed WinZip on your iPhone or iPad, you may notice there is nothing to the app. Upon opening it, you are presented with a miniature tutorial and nothing else. Even after trying to read the screenshot tutorial, how you use the app may not be all that clear. Hopefully we can help.

If the ZIP file was e-mailed to you, the process to open it in WinZip is a matter of a few taps. The screenshots below begin after you have downloaded the attachment to your device, and tapped on it to open it.

Opening a ZIP file from the Web is as simple as tapping on the link to the file, then selecting Open In WinZip or Open In and selecting WinZip from the menu as we just did opening the file in the Mail app.

Ever need to open a zip file on your iPad? You're not alone. Zip files are generally the best way to store or transfer large files without taking up a lot of space. For that reason, they are commonly used for sending large files over the internet. But for most people, the problem comes with opening said zip files. If you are using an iPad, it can be an especially daunting process.

Another common use of zip files is to combine multiple smaller files into one larger file. This way, you can send multiple items in a single attachment. Common examples include compressing text documents, images, archives of music or video, and much more.

There are many different tools available for creating zip files. These apps work on all kinds of devices, including Macs, Windows, Linux computers, and smartphones. This makes it easy to create them anywhere you may find yourself without needing access to any additional programs.

There are a number of ways to open files on your iPad. As we mentioned, one way is by using the Files app, which can be found in the App Store for free. However, this is only available for iPads with the latest operating systems (iOS 11 and above).

If you were using Safari or Chrome, the zipped file would be in the Downloads folder. If having trouble locating the file, you can sort the downloaded files by date, and it should appear among the most recent ones.

As soon as you locate the zipped file, just tap on it. The files should be automatically unpacked, and they will appear in a new folder next to the original zip file, especially if you sorted the files by date.

If you're looking for a way to compress and decompress files on your iPad, we highly recommend WinZip. It is an excellent, easy-to-use app with tons of features and tools. Easily compress those images from last night's party into a single, easy-to-access file and send them out to all your friends.

Although this tutorial will work with any zip file it is focused on dealing with GPX tracks which you find online but are in the zip file format. We will also discuss how to open a GPX file someone may have emailed you or you try to open via browser or even a file hosting service like Dropbox.

In this tutorial I am using an example file from the AZ Backcountry Discovery route. These are great routes with lots of detailed information but in order to get the tracks into an application like Gaia you need a way to decompress the zip file and then import the GPX files into Gaia. Again while we mention Gaia (our preferred navigation application) this will work with any navigation app that allows you to import tracks.

When the track opens you will get something that looks like this. Kind of confusing. For those techie people out there this is XML data. A universal format that makes importing data easy. Anyway!, click the top right of the screen and select Open In.

When the extraction is complete, a window will pop up to displaythe extracted files or folders. If no window opens up after the extraction iscomplete, simply locate the extracted folder to display the extractedfiles.

For Android phones, you will needto download and install a zip file opener, such as the Files app from Google Play Store, to extract files from a ZIP file. The application comespre-installed on many Android phones. To check if you already have the app, tapthe Apps button, which looks like a square of four or nine dots on your homescreen.

Much like with Mac computers, iPhones and other Apple devices havea default feature that allows you to see your ZIP files. However, to actuallyextract workable files from a ZIP file on your mobile device, you need toinstall an archiving application such as iZip from the App Store. Much like the Files app for Android, iZip isa free application so no need to worry about fees or subscription costs.

There is so much to learn in the world of Cricut. One of the things I love most about the Design Space software is its ability to use it with various devices, like an iPad. But mobile devices can sometimes be tricky when it comes to opening zip files to extract the SVG cut file for Design Space. When we purchase from various designers, perhaps off Etsy, the files often come as zip downloads.

Some of us may wonder why the files have to be zips at all? The reason is that many sites do not allow multiple files to be uploaded. Therefore the creators have to place the many files into a zip format to transfer them to you. Furthermore, zip files are a way to compress a larger file into a smaller one. Often storage systems have a limit on the file sizes you can upload and this is another way creators are able to ensure you receive all you need in the SVG download!

Mobile devices do not have what is called, decompression software built into them like computers do. To open zip files on an iPad you will need to download a third-party app. I have tested several and I am sharing the very best option below.
