How to create zip
- Add the files you want to zip - drop a whole batch or pick them one by one. Any file type works.
- Remove anything you don't need from the list, and type a name for the ZIP.
- Choose a compression level: Balanced is best for most files, Smallest squeezes harder, Store only is fastest.
- Press Create ZIP and the archive downloads straight away.
Everything runs inside your browser with JavaScript, so your files are never uploaded to a server. There’s no size cap from us, no watermark and no sign-up.
Create a ZIP file online, free
A ZIP archive packs many files into one, which makes them easier to email, upload to a form or share on WhatsApp. This ZIP file creator runs entirely in your browser, so even large batches are packed in seconds without waiting for an upload. Documents, photos, audio, spreadsheets — anything can go in.
Does zipping make files smaller?
It depends on the file type. Text, documents, spreadsheets and code compress a lot. Files that are already compressed — JPG, PNG, MP4, MP3 or PDF — shrink very little, because their data is packed already. For those, the real benefit is bundling everything into a single tidy file. If you need photos to be genuinely smaller, resize or re-encode them first with an image tool.
Frequently asked questions
Is this ZIP creator free?
Yes - completely free, with no file limit from us and no sign-up.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. The archive is built on your own device with JavaScript, so nothing is uploaded, stored or seen by anyone else.
What file types can I zip?
Any type - documents, images, video, audio, spreadsheets or a mix of everything.
Will zipping reduce the file size?
Documents, text and code compress well. Already-compressed files like JPG, MP4 or PDF barely shrink, but they still get bundled into one file.
Is there a size limit?
We impose none. The practical limit is your device's memory, so very large batches work better on a computer than an old phone.
Can I open the ZIP on Windows, Mac or Android?
Yes. It is a standard .zip file that opens with the built-in tools on every operating system.
How do I extract a ZIP file?
Use our Unzip Files tool - it opens any .zip in your browser and lets you download the contents.
