How to Extract Photos from a Zip File
If you use a professional photographer or photo vendor to take photos, they will typically email those photos to you in what's called a Zip File. A Zip file is a compressed archive format that bundles multiple files and/or folders into a single, smaller package for easier sharing, storage, and faster transfer.
Our system, you cannot upload a zip file in to a listing. So what you need to do is Extract the photos that are in the Zip File OUT of that Zip File and onto your computer somewhere.
The steps below will show you how to extract files out of a Zip File onto your computer, so you can access those files/photos. So they can then be uploaded to your listing.
1) Open the Zip File.
2) You should see all the photos in that folder. Somewhere near the top you should see an option that says Extract All (See screen shot). Click Extract All
3) Extract All means its going to take all the photos in this file and your going to SAVE them in a NEW Location on your computer (Like your Desktop).
4) This next step you will want to click on BROWSE and Browse to a location on your computer to save these photos. Select a location you will remember where the photos are located (Example - Like your Desktop). Once you selected the location. Click on Extract.
5) The photos from this Zip Folder are now in the Location you selected.
6) You can go into your listing or draft, browser to this same location and upload the photos.
