Zip Files Online
Create a ZIP file from files and folders in your browser: keep the folder structure, pick the compression level, exclude junk files and download instantly — no upload.
🔒 Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploadedCreate ZIP archives without installing anything
This ZIP creator packs any number of files, or entire folders, into a single .zip archive that
opens on Windows, macOS, Linux, Android and iOS without extra software. Drag a folder from your file manager
onto the drop area and its full structure is preserved inside the archive, including sub-folders. You can
also mix loose files from different places; if two files share the same name, the second one is renamed
automatically so nothing is overwritten. The list shows the path each file will have inside the ZIP and its
size, and any row can be removed before you build the archive.
Files are compressed with the Deflate algorithm used by every ZIP program. The level slider trades speed for size: level 1 is very quick, level 9 is the smallest, and level 0 simply stores the data. Because formats such as JPEG, MP4, MP3 and PDF are already compressed, the tool can store them as-is while still compressing documents, code and text — the resulting archive is almost the same size, but it is created far faster.
Clean archives with exclude patterns
Operating systems and development tools leave behind files you rarely want to share: .DS_Store
and __MACOSX on a Mac, Thumbs.db and desktop.ini on Windows, or huge
node_modules and .git folders in a project. Add them to the exclude box as a
comma-separated list, using * and ? as wildcards, and they are skipped. The file list
updates live, crossing out everything that will be left out, so you can check the result before zipping.
Private by design
Online ZIP services usually upload your files, compress them on a server and send the archive back. Here the whole process runs locally in your browser tab: files are read in chunks from your disk, compressed on your own processor and assembled into a ZIP that is handed straight to your downloads folder. That makes it safe for contracts, photos and source code, and it is often quicker than uploading because nothing crosses the network. When the ZIP is ready you see the original and compressed sizes and the percentage saved.
