# 2.4. Creating Archives and Adding Files

To create a new archive in Ark, choose New from the File menu.

You can then type the name of the archive, with the appropriate extension (`tar.gz`, `zip`, `bz2` etc). To add files to the archive, choose Add File... from the Action menu. If you want to add an entire directory to an archive, choose Add Dir... from the Action menu.

An alternative way to add files to the archive is to drag a file from Konqueror or the desktop into the main Ark window, and it will be added to the current archive.
