What is a ZIP file?
A ZIP file is a compressed archive that can contain one or many files and folders. ZIP uses lossless compression (most commonly DEFLATE), so your original data remains intact. It’s a convenient way to package multiple items together.
Why use ZIP?
ZIP helps when you need to share many files at once or reduce attachment size limits. Instead of sending multiple emails, combine everything into a single, neat archive that’s widely supported.
How to create a ZIP online
It’s simple: click “Upload” (or drag & drop) to add your files, wait a moment while we compress them, then download your ZIP. You can select multiple files at once by holding the Shift key during selection.
Free, fast & reliable
Most ZIP jobs finish in seconds. There’s no sign-up and no watermarks, and it works in any modern browser. Just upload, zip, and download — you’re done.
Privacy & security
Tips for best results: You can add many files at once; ZIP keeps your originals unchanged; compression works best on text, spreadsheets, and some image types. Already-compressed files (like JPEG, MP4, MP3, and many PDFs) may not shrink much.
Works on Windows, macOS & mobile
Your files are transferred over encrypted connections. We automatically remove uploads after processing to respect your privacy.
