Zip Files

Drag and drop or select multiple files, and the tool bundles them into a single .zip archive you can download. Everything happens in your browser using the fflate library — your files are never uploaded to a server.

This is useful for quickly packaging files to send via email, bundling assets for a project, or compressing a batch of documents. The resulting zip preserves filenames and works with any zip-compatible tool on any platform.

No file size or count limits are enforced beyond what your browser's memory can handle. Large files (hundreds of megabytes) work but may take a few seconds.

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded to a server?

No — the zip is created entirely in your browser. Your files never leave your computer. The tool uses fflate, a JavaScript compression library, to build the archive locally.

Is there a file size limit?

There's no artificial limit, but the zip is built in your browser's memory. Files totaling a few hundred megabytes should work fine; much larger than that may cause your browser tab to slow down or run out of memory.

Can I add folders or set a directory structure?

Currently all files are added to the root of the zip with their original filenames. Folder structure from your local filesystem is not preserved — all files appear at the top level.
