Just like the title says.

For example let's say I have 50 files that need zipping. I want each one to be zipped, but not grouped into one giant zip with the others. Can anyone help me! Thanks.
 
That doesn't answer my question I am looking for an application that does this.

Yes, it does answer your question. There is no application that does this. A job automator or a shell script is the most likely solution.
 
This should be easily accomplished on the command line with something along the lines of

Code:
for i in <list of files to zip>; do zip $i $i; done

You can also use the * character to reduce typing out the list of files.

Code:
for i in *.txt; do zip $i $i; done
