What you can do
- Compress files: reduce size for PDF, JPG/PNG/WEBP/HEIC, and plain TXT with simple quality/level controls
- Create archives: bundle files/folders into ZIP (optionally with folder structure)
- Extract archives: unzip ZIP and TAR.GZ; 7z/RAR where supported (see each tool for details)
- Batch workflows: drag in many files, compress together, and download in one click (where offered)
- Keep fidelity in check: choose lossless (ZIP/PNG) or lossy (JPG/WEBP, some PDFs) based on your goal
FAQ
- Are my files uploaded? Most compression runs entirely in your browser. If a tool needs server processing, we disclose it on that page.
- Any limits? For smooth performance, keep typical uploads modest (e.g., ~10MB per file), especially on mobile. Larger files may work but take longer.
- Lossless vs. lossy—what’s the difference? Lossless (ZIP, PNG) preserves original data; lossy (JPG/WEBP, some PDF compression) trades a bit of detail for smaller size.
- Can I password-protect an archive? Where available, use the ZIP password option; note that this is separate from PDF password protection.
- Do you add watermarks or require accounts? No watermark, no account required.
