Unzipping files is a straightforward process that can be done using built-in tools or third-party software. Here's a general guide on how to unzip files:
Windows: Right-click the ZIP file, select "Extract All," and follow the on-screen instructions.
macOS: Double-click the ZIP file, and the contents will automatically be extracted to the same location.
Linux: Use the command line tool 'unzip' or right-click and select "Extract Here" in most file managers.
For more advanced features or to handle different archive formats, you can use third-party software such as:
7-Zip (Windows)
WinZip (Windows, macOS)
WinRAR (Windows, macOS, Linux)
The Unarchiver (macOS)
These applications often provide additional features like handling password-protected archives, repairing corrupted ZIP files, or working with less common archive formats.
Remember, when unzipping files from unknown sources, it's important to scan them with antivirus software to ensure they don't contain malware.
