Frequently Asked Questions
How much compression can I expect?
Compression varies by file type. Text files and documents can compress by 50-90%. Images and videos that are already compressed (JPEG, MP4) may only reduce by 5-15%. The tool shows exactly how much space you've saved after compression.
Is there a limit to how many files I can ZIP?
There's no hard limit on file count. However, since processing happens in your browser, very large archives with hundreds of large files may be slower. Most common use cases work smoothly without issues.
Can I extract password-protected ZIP files?
Currently, our tool doesn't support password-protected archives. You'll see an error if you try to extract an encrypted ZIP file. Use desktop software for password-protected archives.
What compression level is used?
We use DEFLATE compression at level 6, which provides a good balance between compression ratio and speed. This is the same standard compression used by most ZIP utilities, ensuring compatibility with all ZIP software.
