In depth

A closer look at gzip

gzip's main advantages over "compress" include a better compression ratio and freedom from patented algorithms. It produces archives with the GZ extension, compressing each file in the archive separately.

You can also decompress GZ archives using the gunzip command which is built into gzip.
