Archive Compress Tools

Reduce the size of archives locally in your browser, with no upload.

Create archives from files or folders

The two pages here use different inputs. Archive Creator accepts files and folders and creates ZIP, TAR, or TAR.GZ archives. Files to TAR / TAR.GZ works with selected files, optional GZIP compression, and individual or combined output. The category description says the work runs locally in your browser with no upload.

Choose by input and output

  • Archive Creator is the page for files and folders. It creates ZIP, TAR, and TAR.GZ archives, with path filtering and duplicate resolution before download.
  • Files to TAR / TAR.GZ is the page for selected files when the output should be TAR or TAR.GZ. You can turn on GZIP compression and choose individual or combined output.

When Archive Creator fits

Use Archive Creator when the source includes a folder or when ZIP is required. It supports ZIP alongside TAR and TAR.GZ, so the same page covers those three archive formats.

Its path filtering controls let you leave unwanted paths out of the archive. The page also includes duplicate resolution.

When Files to TAR / TAR.GZ fits

Choose Files to TAR / TAR.GZ when you already have the files to include and need TAR-based output. Select TAR or choose TAR.GZ when GZIP compression belongs in the result.

The page can produce one archive containing the selected files or separate output for each selection. That choice belongs to this page's workflow, while ZIP output belongs to Archive Creator.

Match the page to the job

  • Use Archive Creator for a folder when some paths should stay out of the archive. Its workflow includes path filtering, duplicate resolution, and ZIP, TAR, or TAR.GZ output.
  • Use Files to TAR / TAR.GZ when selected files need one combined TAR.GZ archive with GZIP compression.
  • Choose individual output in Files to TAR / TAR.GZ when each selected file should have its own archive.
  • Choose this category when the archive should be created in the browser without uploading the files. The category description identifies local processing and no upload.

When to use Archive Tools instead

Archive Tools covers more than archive creation. It includes creating ZIP and TAR files, extracting and inspecting archives, repairing broken ZIPs, and cleaning junk files. Use this category for archive output from files or folders. Use the parent category when the task is extraction, inspection, repair, cleanup, or another archive operation.
