About Archive Creator

An archive bundles many files into one, which is what makes a folder sendable by email or downloadable as a single click. ZIP, TAR and 7Z differ in compatibility and compression.

How to use it

  1. Add the files you want to bundle.
  2. Choose the archive format.
  3. Create and download the archive.

Worth knowing

Already-compressed content — photographs, video, MP3s — barely shrinks inside an archive, because the compression has already been done. Archiving those is about bundling, not size.

Common questions

Which format should I pick?
ZIP, unless you have a reason not to; it opens on every operating system without extra software.
Does archiving lose anything?
No. Archive compression is lossless — the extracted files are identical to the originals.
