About ZIP Compression

Create compressed ZIP archives from your files with our professional archiving tool. ZIP is the most widely supported archive format, compatible with all operating systems and devices. Higher compression levels produce smaller files but take longer to process, while lower levels prioritize speed. Level 6 provides an excellent balance between compression ratio and processing speed, suitable for most use cases.

Compress multiple files and folders into a single ZIP archive while preserving folder structures and UTF-8 filenames for international character support. Adjustable compression level (0-9) gives you control over the size versus speed tradeoff. Client-side processing means your files never leave your device for complete privacy, with no file size limits or restrictions on number of files.

Level 0 stores files without compression, useful for already-compressed files like JPG or MP4. Levels 1-3 provide fast compression with moderate size reduction. Levels 4-6 offer balanced compression suitable for most files. Levels 7-9 provide maximum compression but take significantly longer, best for archival storage where processing time is less important than achieving the smallest possible file size. Perfect for sharing multiple files via email, creating backups, distributing software or documents, or organizing collections.
