No! All archive creation happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device, making this tool completely safe for sensitive documents, personal photos, and confidential work files.
You can include any file type: images (PNG, JPG, GIF, WebP), documents (PDF, DOC, TXT), code files (JS, HTML, CSS, PHP), videos, audio, and more. There are no restrictions on file types.
Since processing happens in your browser, the limit depends on your device's available memory. Most modern devices can handle creating archives up to several hundred megabytes without issues. For very large archives, performance may vary.
Store: No compression, fastest creation. Use for pre-compressed files like JPGs or videos. Normal: Good balance of speed and compression. Best for most use cases. Maximum: Smallest files but slower. Best for text, code, and documents.
Yes! ZIP is a universal format supported by Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, Android, and ChromeOS. All modern operating systems can open ZIP files without additional software. You can also use our ZIP File Viewer to open them online.
Password protection is not currently supported in the browser-based tool due to technical limitations. For encrypted archives, we recommend using desktop software like 7-Zip (free) after creating your archive here.
ZIP is the most widely used archive format in the world, created by Phil Katz in 1989. It combines multiple files into a single container while optionally compressing them to reduce size. The format is supported natively by Windows, macOS, and most Linux distributions, making it the safest choice for sharing files with others.
ZIP archives use the DEFLATE compression algorithm, which works particularly well on text-based files like documents, source code, and JSON data. Pre-compressed files like JPEG images or MP4 videos won't compress much further, so consider using "Store" mode for these to speed up archive creation.
Archives are useful whenever you need to share multiple files as a single unit. Email attachments are easier to manage as one ZIP rather than dozens of individual files. Cloud storage links are simpler when pointing to a single archive. Project handoffs are more organized when all assets are bundled together.
For web developers, archives are essential for distributing favicon packages, sharing theme files, or backing up projects. Photographers use them to deliver photo sets to clients. Anyone sharing a collection of files benefits from the organization and compression that ZIP provides.
