Any file type, multiple files allowed. Everything is processed locally in your browser.
How it works
We use the JSZip library to package your chosen files into a single .zip archive entirely on your device, in the order you arrange them, then hand you the result as a direct download.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I create a ZIP file online without software?
Use the Softstribe ZIP Creator. Upload the files you want to compress, drag to arrange them if needed, and click Create ZIP. The ZIP is created in your browser using JavaScript and downloads directly to your device — no WinZip or 7-Zip needed.
Is there a file size limit for creating ZIP files online?
There is no server-side limit since everything runs in your browser. The practical limit is your device's available RAM. Files totalling up to 1GB work on most modern computers.
Does the ZIP Creator compress files to reduce their size?
The ZIP format provides lossless compression. Text files compress significantly (50-90%), while already-compressed files like JPG, MP4 and PDF compress very little since they are already optimised.
Can I password-protect a ZIP file with this tool?
The current Softstribe ZIP Creator creates standard unencrypted ZIPs. For password-protected archives, use a desktop application like 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR.
