IMG is a disk image file format that contains a complete copy of the contents of a storage device, such as a hard drive or CD. It is commonly used for backup purposes or for creating bootable media. IMG files can be mounted on a virtual drive or burned to a physical disk for use.
ZIP is a widely used file compression format that bundles multiple files into a single archive. It reduces the file size for easier sharing, storage, and transfer. ZIP files are supported by most operating systems and file managers, making them one of the most popular archive formats worldwide.
