Gzip is used primarily for compressing and decompressing a file to change the size so that it won't take up much room on a computer without the need for an external archiver.

The 'compress' command is normally supplied in all Unix and Linux distributions. The Gzip protocol is also very common, as is the original pkzip format.

7z is also used along with others, but those are the most popular.

Archives are smaller than with gzip. Compression requires more resources though.
