How do I download and open .zip files?

Downloading a .zip file:
When downloading a .zip file from our platform:

  1. Click the download link provided.
  2. Save the file to a location on your computer that’s easy to find, such as your Downloads folder or desktop.

If you experience issues downloading the file:

  • Ensure your internet connection is stable.
  • Check your browser’s download settings to confirm the file is not being blocked.
  • Clear your browser cache and try again.

On Windows:
Downloading and opening a .zip file on Windows is simple using the "Extract All" feature. This process keeps the original .zip file intact while extracting its contents to a location of your choice.

Steps:

  1. Right-click the .zip folder and select Extract All.
  2. Choose the destination folder where you’d like the extracted files to appear. For convenience, you can select the desktop, but avoid storing files there permanently to keep your desktop organized.
  3. Click Extract, and your files will appear in the selected location.

On macOS:
Opening .zip files on a Mac is even easier. Simply double-click the .zip file, and the uncompressed contents will appear in the same directory as the original .zip file.

Additional Tips:

  • If you encounter any issues extracting files, ensure you have enough storage space on your device.
  • For corrupted or incomplete downloads, try downloading the file again or contact our support team for assistance.
