What happens when you extract files?

Extract/Unzip Zipped Files When you extract files from a zipped folder, a new folder with the same name is created which contains the files. The compressed (zipped) version also remains.

Why do I need to extract files?

Zipping or compressing files help save storage space and transfer files more quickly than the uncompressed or unzipped files. These zipped files need to be extracted to be able to view the contents.
