My personal opinion is that people who are looking for a tool like Ark 
are looking for something that compresses their files. And I don't think 
most people would distinguish between being able to compress a single 
file and archive multiple files into a single file, and I think they 
would assume that a file compressor could compress multiple files into 
one file.

Therefore, I suggest "File Compressor" is better.

Ciao,
Gordon
