The .ZIP file extension format is a file archive and data compression format originally developed and released in 1989 by Phil Katz. With compatible zip format software, a file or a group of files can be packed (compressed) into a single .zip archive which can later be unpacked (decompressed). The zip file archive format facilitates the distribution of multiple files as single archives particularly over the internet and networked systems. Many operating systems have native support for the file format and can usually open zip archives without the need for third party software. Microsoft windows for instance has had native support for the ZIP format since Microsoft Windows 98, similarly Apple's Mac OS includes ZIP support through its default archive file handle Archive Utility.

.CBZ file is a .ZIP file which has been renamed in order to differentiate it from a general image viewer to a specialized one for comic books. The .cbz file extension was developed at about the same time as the .cbr file format because they were both made popular by CDisplay image viewer developed by David Ayton and released in April 2004. CDR and CBZ formats were first supported by CDisplay application.
Many other common filename extensions use the ZIP format in one aspect or another, for example JAR, .WAR, .DOCX, .XLXS, .PPTX, .ODT, .ODS, .ODP all utilize the ZIP format.

It also supports multiple compression algorithms but commonly utilizes the DEFLATE algorithm.
