Tech Glossary Word: compression (zip) Document Number: 10063 Zip is a type of compression, which is sort of like taking a printed page of information and pressing all of the print together into a small spot while leaving codes for the "unzipping" program so that it knows how to stretch all the print back out to its original form.
