Questions
Will the ZIP open everywhere?
Yes. It is a standard ZIP with UTF-8 file names, which Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android open without extra apps. Archives over 4 GB use the ZIP64 extension, which every current system supports.
Why didn’t my photos get smaller?
JPEG, PNG, video, MP3 and similar files are already compressed; zipping them again saves almost nothing and takes time, so they are stored as they are. To make photos smaller, use the Image Compressor.
When should I use GZIP?
GZIP compresses a single file (data.csv becomes data.csv.gz). It is common for logs, data exports and web servers. For several files, or to send to people on Windows and phones, ZIP is the better choice.
Can I add a password?
Not yet. ZIP’s old password protection is weak and its AES variant isn’t understood by Windows’ built-in unzip, so a protected ZIP is often unopenable for the person receiving it. For one sensitive document, Protect PDF uses strong encryption every PDF reader supports.
Are my files uploaded anywhere?
No. Your files are opened and processed on your device, and the results are saved straight back to it. Nothing is uploaded. How to check.
Is it free? Do I need an account?
It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
