Compress GZIP File

Losslessly compress individual files to .gz without uploading.

How to use

  1. Select a file and start compression. Each selected input produces its own .gz output.
  2. Use TAR.GZ instead to compress a collection of files in one package.

About these formats

GZIP is a stream compressor for a single file; it does not contain multiple named entries like ZIP.

Browser limitations

In-browser memory and decompression safety limits apply. Already-compressed media often shrinks very little.

Frequently asked questions

Can I GZIP multiple files?

Yes, but each file is compressed separately. Use TAR.GZ to bundle them.

Is compression lossless?

Yes. Uncompressing restores the original bytes.
