WinZip is a tool to make working with Zip files and other types of archive files easier. Let's start off by discussing some of the words used to describe the files and the processes.
Archives are files that contain other files, and Zip files are the most common archive format. Typically, the files in an archive are compressed. WinZip uses the term "Add" to mean "compress files and add them to an archive". "Extract" means "decompress files in an archive, creating separate files on a disk". Some people use the verbs "zip" or "pack" instead of Add, and "unzip" or "unpack" instead of "extract".
See About Zip Files and Other Archives for more detailed information.
