Questions
Frequently asked questions
Is this file compressor really free and unlimited?
Yes — no file count, no file-size cap, no daily quota, no signup and no watermark. Everything happens in your browser, so there is no server cost.
What can I do with it?
Create ZIP and TAR archives from files, or open existing ZIP/TAR archives to view their contents and download individual files. All client-side.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Compression and extraction run entirely in your browser. Files never leave your device, so there is nothing to upload, nothing to breach, and the tool works offline.
Can I compress many files at once?
Yes. Drag and drop as many files as you like, then download them as a single ZIP or TAR archive.
Can I extract files from an existing archive?
Yes. Switch to the Extract tab, drop a ZIP or TAR, and you'll see a list of all files inside. Download individual files or the whole archive.
