ZIP File Creator

Create a ZIP archive from any files on your device. Drop in documents, photos or folders of mixed files, review the list with sizes, give the archive a name, and download it instantly. Perfect for emailing multiple files, submitting batches, or sharing a whole set in one link.

Your files are zipped entirely in your browser. They are never uploaded to a server.

How to use ZIP File Creator

  1. Drop one or more files into the box, or click to browse.
  2. Review the list — remove anything you don’t want with the Remove button.
  3. Give the archive a name.
  4. Press “Create ZIP & download”.

About this tool

Zipping several files into one archive makes them far easier to email, upload or share — and it often reduces total size for documents and other compressible data.

Because everything happens locally in your browser, this is a safe way to package sensitive documents without them ever passing through a third-party server.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a file size or count limit?
No hard limit — it depends on your device’s memory. Everyday use with dozens of files and hundreds of MB works fine.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Zipping happens entirely in your browser using local processing, so private files stay on your device.
What if two files have the same name?
The tool automatically renames duplicates (adding a number) so nothing gets overwritten inside the archive.
Does zipping make files smaller?
For text, documents, spreadsheets and many images, yes — ZIP compresses them. Files that are already compressed (like JPG photos or MP4 video) shrink only a little.
Can I add whole folders?
You can select multiple files at once. For keeping folder structure, select the files inside the folder; they are added with their file names.
