Why put files in a ZIP?

A ZIP file packs many files into a single one, so it is easier to send by e-mail, upload to a form or keep as a backup. Text, documents and spreadsheets usually become much smaller.

Frequently asked questions

Can I zip a whole folder?

Yes. Choose a folder or drag it onto the page; all subfolders are included with their structure.

How much smaller will my files get?

Text, Word, Excel and PDF files often shrink a lot. Photos, music and videos are already compressed, so they stay about the same size.

Can I set a password on the ZIP?

Not at the moment. Standard ZIP passwords are weak; for sensitive files use a protected PDF or an encrypted archive app.

Are my files uploaded?

No. The ZIP is created on your device and your files never leave it.

Is there a size limit?

There is no fixed limit, but very large folders (several GB) need a lot of memory; split them into batches if the page becomes slow.

Will the ZIP open on any computer?

Yes. It is a standard ZIP file that Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS open without extra software.
