How to Create and Extract zip File in Laravel is the topic, we will discuss today. In this example, we use laravel 5.6. We use chumper/zipperpackage for creating and extract the zip file in laravel. The process of “zipping” a file refers to putting it into an archive format such as “ZIP.” It compresses the file, making it smaller. You can squeeze several files into a single ZIP archive, making them easier to store and transfer over an email as the files are smaller. They can be moved by just moving that one ZIP file. So it works as a single file and not a whole folder. If you need to move many files or huge ones, then zipping them may be the best way to go.
