About the ZIP File Creator
Drop files, or entire folders, onto the box. The creator keeps each file's path inside the folder, so the ZIP unpacks into the same structure. Each file is compressed with Deflate using your browser's built-in compression. If compressing doesn't make a file smaller, as with photos, videos and files that are already ZIPs, it's stored as-is instead, so the archive is never bigger than it needs to be.
The archive follows the standard ZIP format with UTF-8 file names, so it opens in Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, 7-Zip and Linux tools with accented and non-Latin names intact. Each file keeps its last-modified date, and every file carries a CRC-32 checksum so extractors can detect corruption. Untick Compress to just bundle files together, which is fastest for media.
Everything happens in memory on your device, so very large sets are limited by available RAM, and archives over 4 GB (which need ZIP64) aren't supported. For those, use your operating system's "Compress" option or 7-Zip.
