Create ZIP File

Zip files without installing anything

Emailing a batch of photos or submitting several documents as one file is easier with a ZIP. On a work computer or someone else's PC without an archiver, this tool builds the ZIP right in your browser. Files are bundled on your device and never uploaded.

How to use it

• Choose or drop several files. You can keep adding more; they stack up in the list.
• Folders — drop a folder or click “Choose folder” to keep its subfolder structure inside the ZIP.
• Top-level folder — put everything inside one named folder so files don't scatter when the recipient extracts them.
• Compression — text, spreadsheets and documents shrink a lot; JPG photos, videos and PDFs are already compressed and barely change. For those, “Store only” is much faster.

File names

Names are stored with the UTF-8 flag, so accented and non-Latin file names display correctly in Windows 10/11, macOS and modern archivers like 7-Zip. If a very old tool shows garbled names, update it. To look inside or extract a ZIP you received, use Unzip Files.

Password-protected ZIPs aren't supported: the encryption available for ZIP in browsers is mostly the old, insecure kind. For sensitive documents, protect the files themselves (for example with Password Protect PDF). Very large files (several GB) may fail depending on your device's memory.
