What makes this Zip Files converter handy

Folders and all

Drop entire folders and their subfolders are kept intact inside the ZIP.

Clever compression

Photos, videos and other already-compressed files are stored as they are for speed, while documents and text are shrunk.

Opens on anything

Standard ZIP files open without extra software on Windows, macOS, iPhone, Android and Linux.

Nothing uploaded

Files are zipped in your browser, so nothing touches a server and the only size limit is your device's memory.

Questions & answers

How do I zip a folder in my browser?

Drag the folder onto the box above, or press Add a folder and pick it. Its subfolders and files keep their structure inside the ZIP.

Why didn't my photos or videos shrink much?

JPG, PNG, MP4 and similar formats are already compressed, so zipping can't squeeze them much further. Text, documents, spreadsheets and code usually compress well.

What's the biggest ZIP I can make?

There's no fixed cap. Since everything runs in your browser, the practical limit is your device's memory – a few gigabytes on most computers, less on phones.

Can I add a password?

Not at the moment – ZIPs made here are standard, unencrypted archives.

Do my files get uploaded anywhere?

Never. The work is done by JavaScript running in your own browser, on your own device. Nothing is sent to a server or kept anywhere, which makes it safe for personal photos and sensitive data – and it carries on working even on a patchy connection.
