In order to start compressing the documents into a single ZIP file, you should specify a file name and an output location. The second step allows you to add the files that you want to be zipped. You can either drag and drop the documents or folders into the main window or add them manually using the built-in browse button.

The app enables you to configure filters by dates and files extensions. The program supports various file formats (JPG, GIF, HTML, DOC and many others) and you can easily add a new file type or remove it from the list.
