Compressed files help us move data from one place to another a lot easier, making the file size a lot lighter and even giving us the possibility to include a password so that their contents aren't public. The most popular applications of this category are WinRAR, WinZIP and WinACE, but in the last few years other free alternatives like 7-Zip or PeaZip have been able to make space for themselves on the market.
