The ZIP file type is primarily associated with 'Compressed Archive File'. A .ZIP file is a compressed archive.
It can contain only one file or many files in multiple directories. ZIP utilities allow you to extract single files or a complete directory structure. The ZIP file format is a common archive and compression standard. This module provides tools to create, read, write, append, and list a ZIP file. Any advanced use of this module will require an understanding of the format, as defined in PKZIP Application Note.

You cannot convert a .ZIP file to a .AUC file. A .ZIP file is an archive, and .AUC is audio. However, if there is an .AUC file located inside the .ZIP file, then you can extract it using software or even Windows internal .ZIP handling. First try double-clicking the .ZIP file to see if it opens. If it does, then deal with the files the same as you would files in a regular Windows folder. If not, then download PKZip, 7Zip, Rar!, or other archiver that handles .ZIP files. After installing an archiver, the likely action is to right-click the file you want to unzip and select unzip.
In the past there are people who experimented with zip files to store them as images. None of the current compression software supports this. A zip file can contain a image file.
In computer lingo, to "zip" a file is to compress it. The classic utility for this is WinZip, but today, there are many "zip" utilities.
A zip file is usually in the smallest format possible for a condensed file. If you need for your file to be smaller it might be necessary to try making a zip file from a different vendor who may do something behind the scenes to make the file smaller.
Right click the file and click "Send to" then click "Compressed Zip File" and select the save location.
