Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Every byte stays in your browser tab. The archive is built locally with the JavaScript ZIP engine and downloaded straight from memory.

Can I add a whole folder?

Yes. Use the folder picker or drop a folder onto the dropzone. Subdirectories and relative paths are kept intact inside the ZIP.

Which compression level should I pick?

Normal is the safe default. Pick Store for files that are already compressed (JPEG, MP4, MP3) — extra compression cannot shrink them and only wastes CPU. Pick Max for source code, logs, and text.

Is there a file-size limit?

There is no hard limit, but archives over ~2 GB may exhaust the browser tab’s memory because everything is processed in RAM.
