Step by step

How to ZIP files online

Select the files you want to package together.
Choose a compression level. Enter a password if you want an encrypted ZIP.
Create the ZIP and download it. Your original files stay unchanged.

ZIP files online for email and shared documents

A ZIP creator combines several files into one download without changing their contents. Use it for an email attachment or a group of documents. Text often compresses well; photos, videos and PDFs may already be compressed and can remain the same size.

Choosing a password

Use a strong password and send it to the recipient through a separate channel. ZIP encryption protects file contents, but filenames may remain readable. Keep the password: this tool cannot recover it for you.

Local processing, practical limits

Selected files and passwords stay on your device. Browser memory and archive compression methods affect what can be processed. Use a desktop archiver for large backups, split volumes or filesystem metadata that must be restored exactly.

Frequently asked questions

Does compression change the original files?

No. The browser reads the selected files and creates a separate ZIP archive.

Can all ZIP tools open an encrypted archive?

Compatibility depends on encryption support. Use a current archiver that supports AES-encrypted ZIP files.

Can I add a whole folder?

This browser picker selects individual files. To preserve a complete folder tree, use your device’s built-in ZIP feature or a desktop archiver.
