Right-click the folder and select "Compress". If the folder contains mostly photos and PDFs, though, it won't get much smaller.

Hey there,

Try this:

1. Open "Finder" and navigate to the file(s) you wish compress.
2. Highlight the file(s) you wish to compress.
3. Control-click or right-click on the selected file(s).
4. Select "Compress filename."

The compressed file should now appear in the same folder and will have the same name as the original, but with a .zip suffix.
