What Zip software software would you recommend? I am finding that I need to send large photo files to clients. Either open source or pay. Would prefer open source.
Thanks,
John

I regularly share large files (images) with others using WeTransfer. Very convenient and I have always been satisfied using the free version.

Same here, I just use WeTransfer.com

If the client on the other end is using Photoshop, you can save the file using ZIP compression

I’d go with 7-Zip if you’re looking for something free. It’s really solid for compressing large files and is easy to use. I’ve been using it for years without any issues. If you don’t mind spending a bit, WinRAR is also great—it’s a bit more feature-rich and handles big files well too.

I use 7-Zip for all my file compression needs, and it's been great. It’s open source and free, which is perfect for handling large photo files. If you ever need something with more features, WinRAR is solid too, but it does cost a bit.
