File zipping is a staple of the web-savvy creator\u2019s toolbox.<\/p>\n
ZIP files offer lossless compression and are easy to create and receive. There are also plenty of free or paid softwares out there for users who want to zip their files. Options include 7-Zip<\/a>, WinZip<\/a>, and Zip Archiver<\/a>.<\/p>\n And as you may know, zipping a file is the preferred way to send large files over the internet. Sending uncompressed or RAW files (e.g. video footage) online is painfully difficult unless you use a fast transfer solution like MASV to send files online. Sign up<\/a> today for free.<\/p>\n There are many advantages to file zipping. There are also many disadvantages people aren’t aware of. These disadvantages can affect file transfer turnaround time.<\/p>\n Before we dive into the pros and cons of file zipping, let\u2019s examine the concepts that underpin modern file compression.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.9.3″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|-10px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Jump to section:<\/strong><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=”Send Large Files Without Zipping” button_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” button_text=”Try MASV” module_class=”starttrial” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h5″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”27px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#222222″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#03c7d3″ background_color_gradient_end=”#222222″ background_color_gradient_direction=”206deg” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#222222″ button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”50px” button_use_icon=”off” button_custom_padding=”10px|42px|10px|42px|true|true” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”-13px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover=”|2em|||false|false” button_border_width__hover=”0px”]<\/p>\n Drag entire folders into MASV.

A codec will compress a video file based on varying degrees of quality. We\u2019ve written a handy guide about different codecs available to filmmakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n We\u2019re not going to go into compression in as much detail today. For our purposes, the two main types of compression<\/strong> are lossless<\/strong> and lossy<\/strong>.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Compresses the file with no loss of data or quality. Every pixel of every image stays true to its original color. So, if there\u2019s a large variation in colors in an image, lossless compression displays an average color instead of using the exact color for every single pixel. This helps make the file size smaller.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Compresses the file while removing some data from a video, audio file, or image. Often, this loss of data is hardly noticeable. Although, the negative effects from data loss is problematic if files are compressed multiple times. Or, if an image file needs to be enlarged (to print for a large poster or billboard, for example).<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”|-54px||||” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n JPEGs are a great example of lossy compression for images. A JPEG is a lossy file format<\/a>. Portable Network Graphics (PNG) images, on the other hand, are lossless image formats.

Web browsers can only download files, not folders. That makes the transfer of multiple files an onerous and time-consuming task.<\/p>\n Because transferring a single file is always faster than multiple files, the ZIP format is a handy tool for improving overall file transfer turnaround time through fast file consolidation.<\/p>\n Note:<\/strong> Turnaround time refers to the time between choosing to send a file and when it\u2019s ready to use by a recipient. It factors every step of your file transfer process, not just upload and download speeds.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta title=”Send Large Files Without Compressing” button_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” button_text=”Try MASV” module_class=”starttrial” _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”default” header_level=”h5″ header_font=”||||||||” header_font_size=”27px” header_line_height=”1.3em” background_color=”#222222″ use_background_color_gradient=”on” background_color_gradient_start=”#03c7d3″ background_color_gradient_end=”#222222″ background_color_gradient_direction=”206deg” custom_button=”on” button_text_color=”#222222″ button_bg_color=”#FFFFFF” button_border_width=”0px” button_border_radius=”50px” button_use_icon=”off” button_custom_padding=”10px|42px|10px|42px|true|true” custom_margin=”||20px||false|false” link_option_url=”https:\/\/app.massive.io\/en\/signup” box_shadow_style=”preset2″ box_shadow_horizontal=”-13px” global_colors_info=”{}” button_border_width__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover_enabled=”on|hover” button_custom_padding__hover=”|2em|||false|false” button_border_width__hover=”0px”]<\/p>\n MASV can send RAW and uncompressed files to anywhere in the world, fast.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”0px|-54px|30px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px|||0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Zipped files have other advantages. For starters, it\u2019s pretty easy. In most cases, it requires little more than a right click. When compressed, zipped files can save on storage space.

Files zipped on a Windows computer, for example, may not open on a Mac. Indeed, we\u2019ve found that any file of 4 GB or more that\u2019s zipped on a Mac will fail if unzipped on a Windows or Linux machine (or vice versa).<\/p>\n Learn More:\u00a0<\/strong>Mac and Windows also calculate file sizes differently. Gb vs Gib, what’s the difference<\/a>.<\/p>\n Let\u2019s take our examples of video footage and codecs from above into consideration again. A single minute of 4K video footage encoded to a ProRes 4:2:2 LT codec will result in a 3 GB file. As you can see, that\u2019s very close to the 4 GB threshold we\u2019ve observed.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”30px|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Then there\u2019s the physical act of zipping files itself. Zipping files takes up extra space on your computer because it creates an extra piece of data. Both you and your recipient need space for the zipped file and the original (or unzipped) file(s). If it’s a couple of megabytes, it’s not an issue. If it’s a couple of gigabytes then it starts to become a problem.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”30px|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Zipping files also adds time to any file transfer. Why? Because your computer must first read the files and then write them back to your preferred storage location before you can even start transferring.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.14.7″ _module_preset=”2514b1ee-af07-4bc3-a96b-c9aaa32f4a18″ width=”100%” custom_margin=”30px|-54px|0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px|0px|false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n And if you\u2019re using a file transfer or cloud solution with file size limits<\/a> but need to transfer massive files (even after they\u2019ve been zipped), you\u2019ll likely need to zip and split the file into several individual files and send each of them one by one.

1. Lossless compression: <\/span><\/h3>\n
<\/blockquote>\n
2. Lossy compression:<\/h3>\n
