Frequently asked questions

Is my ZIP uploaded?

No. It is opened and packed again in your browser.

How much smaller can a ZIP get?

Text, documents, spreadsheets and code often shrink a lot more. Photos, videos, music and PDFs are already compressed, so they hardly change. The tool stores those as they are and tells you when nothing was gained.

Does it change my files?

No. Every file inside is kept exactly the same. Only the way it is packed changes.

Why can a ZIP not be opened?

It may be damaged, password protected, or not really a ZIP file. Password-protected ZIP files are not supported.

Is there a size limit?

Up to 300 MB of files in one go, and up to 2,000 files inside a ZIP. This protects your browser from very large or booby-trapped archives.
