Archive is a file type which contains compressed folders and files inside it. Or we can imagine it like a special directory too, hidden from file manager scan because the path is packed into a single file. There are many popular archive files with different mimes (file exteension), but some popular and most used is .zip , .rar , .7zip , .tar , .gzip , and many more.
Compress is a process to pack files and folders into a single of archive file, meanwhile Extract is a process to unpack an archive file to open all the packed files and folders inside the archive file. An archive file is also can be locked by a password included when the compressing process, which make this archive file is encrypted so it can be extracted only if we know the password.
On Android device itself, I am sure you had handle or interact with archive files before (at least for me, I am often do it on my Android phone). And to handle (compress or extract) an archives with good on Android device we need an Application to do it. There are many archive file manager Android application created out there, but my favorite one is Zarchiver APK.
What i like from Zarchiver is the simple user interface. Zarchiver APK is also have complete archive library, so as long as I have used it as my regular archive manager application it never fail handle all type of archive files on my Android phone. Zarchiver is also have premium / donate version on Play Store.
