Yes. If the file ends with .zip, it is a ZIP Archive file. There is a way to change the extension, however, using an extension changer found on the internet. The filename extension (characters to the right of the dot in the file name) identifies the type of file (unless this extension is renamed by a computer user) in most cases. The type of file will identify what can use or open the file, but not necessarily what created the file.
