## What is ZIP Creator?

ZIP Creator is a free online file converter from Farvixo that lets you compress files into a ZIP archive. Conversion runs in your browser rather than on a server, so files are never uploaded and there is no queue to wait in. No watermark, no size cap and no account — convert a batch at a time.

## How to use ZIP Creator

1. **Add your files** — Drop your files into ZIP Creator. Conversion runs in your browser, so nothing is uploaded.
2. **Choose the output format** — Pick the format you need. ZIP Creator keeps formatting, layout and quality intact rather than flattening the document.
3. **Download the converted file** — Save the result immediately. No watermark, no file-size cap and no waiting in a queue.

## Use cases

- Opening a file in software that does not support the original format
- Preparing data for an import that accepts only one specific format
- Converting a confidential document without uploading it to a converter site
- Batch-converting a folder of files in one pass

## Tips

- Conversion between structurally different formats is approximate. Check the output before relying on it.
- Keep the original file. A converted copy has already lost whatever the target format cannot represent.
- For spreadsheets, confirm number and date formats survived — those are what usually break.

## Common problems

- **Formatting shifted after conversion** — The target format cannot represent every feature of the source. Simplify complex layouts before converting.
- **The file is rejected as unsupported** — The extension may not match the actual content. Open it in its native application and re-save it properly.
- **Non-English text became question marks** — An encoding mismatch. Ensure the source is saved as UTF-8 before converting.

## FAQ

### How much smaller will my files get?

It depends entirely on the type. Text, documents, code and spreadsheets often shrink by 50–90%. Photos, video, MP3s and PDFs are already compressed and barely shrink at all — zipping them mainly bundles rather than compresses.

### Why zip files that will not compress?

To send many files as one, preserve a folder structure, and avoid an email client mangling attachments. Bundling is a legitimate reason on its own, independent of size.

### Is there a file size limit?

No server limit, because nothing is uploaded. Your device memory is the practical ceiling — a large batch is best done in a couple of passes rather than one.

### Can I password-protect the ZIP?

Standard ZIP encryption is weak and widely breakable, so we would rather not offer something that implies protection it cannot deliver. For genuinely sensitive files, encrypt the content itself before zipping.

### Are folder structures preserved?

Yes. Folders are kept intact so the archive extracts with the same layout, which matters when the files reference each other by relative path.
