Compress Files into a ZIP Archive
When you need to email multiple documents or organize a folder of photos, compressing them into a single ZIP file is the universal standard. FileForge provides a powerful, browser-based archiving tool that bundles your files together securely.
How to Create a ZIP File Online
Drag and drop all the files you wish to compress into the workspace. Our local engine will read the files, apply DEFLATE compression algorithms to reduce their overall size, and package them into a standard `.zip` archive that you can download instantly.
Maximum Privacy for Archiving
Archiving personal files on a remote server is highly insecure. Because FileForge uses a local WebAssembly port to generate the ZIP file, your documents, photos, and videos never leave your hard drive. It is the safest way to create archives.
