Mac Tutorial: Compress (Zip) Multiple Files and Folders Individually No Download Required | Instructions with Screenshots
Archive Utility is a native app included freely with the Mac Operating System. No third-party apps are required to follow these instructions.

- Open Archive Utility
- In Finder — highlight the files and folders to be compressed
- From Finder—drag and drop selected files/folders onto the Archive Utility App icon in the desktop toolbar
- Success
Watch it in action:
