Why put images in a ZIP?
A ZIP file bundles many photos into one download. That makes them easier to email, upload to a form that accepts a single file, share through a messenger or keep as a tidy backup. The person you send it to opens the ZIP and gets every photo with its original name.
Some websites and job or exam portals ask for documents as one ZIP. Others limit the total size, which is where “Compressed images” helps: each photo is re-saved at the quality you choose and keeps its format, so the whole ZIP becomes much lighter.
Original or compressed?
- Original files keep everything untouched, including camera details. Choose this for archives and for anyone who needs the full-quality originals.
- Compressed images are best for sending and uploading. A photo that can’t be made smaller is kept as it was, so no file grows.
Frequently asked questions
Are my photos changed when I choose "Original files"?
No. Each file goes into the ZIP byte for byte as you added it, with its original name, format and photo details.
Why is the ZIP not much smaller than my photos?
JPG, PNG, WebP and HEIC files are already compressed, so zipping alone barely shrinks them. Choose "Compressed images" to make the photos themselves smaller, often by 50–80%.
How many images can I add?
As many as you like, up to 50 MB per image. Everything happens on your device, so very large batches depend on your device's memory.
What happens to files with the same name?
They are numbered automatically, such as photo.jpg and photo-2.jpg, so nothing is overwritten.
Are my images uploaded?
No. The ZIP is created in your browser, and your images never leave your device.
