ZIP Creator
Create ZIP archives from text entries with customizable compression settings.
Run tool
ZIP Creator compiles multiple plain text files into a standard downloadable ZIP archive through an online interface. You can define distinct filenames along with their corresponding text contents to organize documentation, scripts, configuration files, or notes into one structured package. The tool provides two compression options: standard deflated compression, which reduces overall archive size by default, and stored mode, which bundles files without compression for straightforward packaging. If you run the utility without entering custom items, it automatically packages a default text file so you can inspect the archive layout immediately. When any individual item omits a filename, the tool assigns a standard text name, and missing contents are preserved as empty files. After running the process, you receive base64 encoded archive data ready for download, complete with total byte measurements and item counts to verify that every planned document is properly included.
Instructions
- Enter your file entries with their intended filenames and text content.
- Select deflated compression to reduce file size or specify stored mode to bundle files without compression.
- Click Run to assemble your files into an archive.
- Review the output summary showing the entry count, byte size, and filename.
- Download or copy the base64 encoded ZIP archive data for your project.
Examples
- Packaging two configuration files into a compressed ZIP archive: Enter 'app.config' with content 'port=8080' and 'db.config' with content 'host=localhost', select deflated compression, and generate an archive containing two files.
- Creating a single text archive with stored mode: Enter 'notes.txt' with plain text notes, set compression to stored, and produce an uncompressed archive.zip file.
FAQ
What compression methods are supported?
The tool defaults to deflated compression. If you specify any other compression value, the tool switches to stored mode without compression.
What happens if I leave the file entries empty?
When no file entries are supplied, the tool creates an archive containing a single built-in example text file.
What default values are used for individual file entries?
If an entry lacks a filename, it defaults to file.txt. If the content field is empty, the file is created with empty text.
How is the resulting ZIP archive delivered?
The generated archive is provided as base64 encoded text labeled archive.zip, accompanied by its byte size and the total number of files.
