Create Archive

Compress one or more files into a ZIP, 7Z, TAR, or GZ archive.

Processed entirely in your browser — your file is never uploaded anywhere.

Why create archives with Tools Root

Bundling multiple files into one compressed archive makes sharing, uploading, and storing them far more manageable than handling dozens of individual files — and compression shrinks the total size in the process.

A real 7-Zip engine, not a reimplementation

Archive creation runs on the actual 7-Zip binary compiled to WebAssembly, rather than a simplified reimplementation of the compression algorithm — meaning genuine, standards-compliant ZIP, 7Z, TAR, and GZ output that opens correctly in any standard archive tool.

Common use cases

Bundling a project's files into one ZIP before sending them to a colleague, compressing a folder of photos to save storage space, archiving old files for long-term backup, or packaging multiple documents together for a single upload where only one file is allowed.

How to create an archive

  1. 1Upload one or more files, or an entire folder.
  2. 2Choose your archive format: ZIP, 7Z, TAR, or GZ.
