How it works

Three steps, no upload

  • 1

    Choose your files

    Drag and drop, or use the file picker. You can add more files along the way without starting over.

  • 2

    Choose the compression

    Fast, balanced or smallest possible file. You see the total size and how much you save before you start.

  • 3

    Download the archive

    The ZIP file is built in your own browser and downloaded straight to you. Nothing is sent to a server.

Why zipfile.no

Built to be trusted

Your files stay on your machine

All compression and extraction happens locally in the browser. You can check it yourself in the network tab.

International file names work

Accented letters and non-Latin scripts survive the compression, along with emoji and long international file names.

Works on your phone

Windows, macOS, Android, iPhone and Linux. There is always a file picker — you never have to aim precisely with drag and drop. See the guide for Windows, Mac, iPhone and Android.

Questions

Frequently asked questions

Are my files uploaded?

No. The tools on this site run in your own browser. Should a future feature need server processing, it will be clearly marked before you pick a file.

Is there a size limit?

The limit is set by the memory in your device, not by us. Large archives are slower on a phone than on a desktop machine.

Can I password-protect the archive?

Password protection is coming as its own module. Your password is handled in the browser and never leaves your device.

Does it cost anything?

The core tools are free and need no sign-up. There are no watermarks on anything you download.
