Since macOS is based on Unix there are a number of ways to compress files and folders within the filing system using Unix based application code, below are a few options using the Terminal or command line interface (cli). The default command line application interface in macOS is the Terminal and is stored in /Applications/Utilities.
1) Select the particular file or locate the files that you want to zip. 2) Usually this can be in the Mac finder in Mac OS X systems. 3) You can compress Single or multiple files. 4) After selecting the files, do right-click and a pop up will appear.
File and folder compression saves on file size and ensures the contents are captured and delivered or stored as one monolithic file. A compressed file which contains files and folders is generally referred to as an archive. Here are some built-in compression applications you can use including zip, tar, gz, bz2, gz and dmg.
First up is ZIP one of the most commonly used compression techniques used across all platforms

If you want to make a zip without those invisible Mac resource files such as “_MACOSX” or “._Filename” and .ds store files, use the “-X” option in the command so:
Second up is TAR, an old favorite on Unix/Linux – you add the GZ for the compression – compresses tighter than zip

You can also use a number of different formats for creating a .dmg
