ZIP Creator

Bundle several files into one .zip archive without leaving this page.

How ZIP Creator works

The ZIP Creator bundles several files you drop into a single .zip archive, directly in your browser tab. It is the everyday complement to /archive-extractor: that tool opens archives, this one builds them, so you can go either direction without installing anything or sending a single byte anywhere.

You choose between two compression modes. Deflate shrinks text, code and uncompressed images the way most zip tools do by default. Store skips compression entirely, which is faster and makes sense for files that are already compressed, such as JPEG photos or MP4 videos, where deflate would waste time for almost no size reduction. Duplicate filenames are renamed automatically so nothing gets silently overwritten inside the archive.

How to use ZIP Creator, step by step

  1. Drop or select the files you want to bundle. Order does not matter; each file becomes one entry in the archive.
  2. Pick a compression mode: Deflate for text/documents/images that compress well, Store for files that are already compressed.
  3. Press the run button to build the archive in your browser.
  4. Download the resulting archive.zip.

Common use cases

  • Packing several exported documents or spreadsheets into one file before attaching it to an email.
  • Bundling a folder of already-compressed photos with Store mode, since re-compressing JPEGs rarely saves space.
  • Preparing a small code or config bundle to share without setting up a separate archiving tool.

Frequently asked questions

Does this add a password to the archive?

No. This creates a plain, unencrypted .zip archive with no password protection. If you need to protect the content, encrypt the files individually first (see /aes-encrypt) before zipping them.

What is the difference between Store and Deflate?

Deflate compresses each file, which shrinks text, code and uncompressed images noticeably. Store copies files into the archive without compression, which is faster and avoids wasted effort on files that are already compressed, such as JPEG, PNG, MP4 or existing .zip files.

What happens if two dropped files have the same name?

The second file is renamed to "name (1).ext", the third to "name (2).ext", and so on, so every file lands in the archive under a distinct name instead of overwriting the previous one.

Is any file uploaded to a server?

No. The archive is built entirely in your browser tab with JavaScript. Your files are read locally and the resulting .zip is generated and downloaded without a network request.
