Select multiple files for batch archivingArchive Builder
Create ZIP archives from multiple files, or extract and repack existing archives. Free, no account required, no file size limits.
Need to shrink images before zipping? Run them through the Compressor first to reduce total archive size.
Password-protected archives use AES-256 — the same standard used by governments. Share the password out-of-band for extra safety.
Archives are streamed immediately after creation and never stored on our servers. Your files are deleted the moment the download completes.
Why Use an Archive Builder?
Bundling multiple files into a single archive makes sharing easier and faster. Instead of uploading ten files individually, you compress them into one ZIP and share a single link. Archives also reduce total file size because ZIP compression removes redundant data, which is especially useful when sharing large batches of images, documents, or project files.
How It Works
Select your files using the button above or drag them directly into the drop zone. Optionally set a password to encrypt the archive with AES-256 encryption — the same standard used by governments and financial institutions. Once you click "Create Archive," your files are bundled and the download starts immediately. All uploaded data is deleted from our servers as soon as the archive is delivered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is there a file size limit? There is no hard limit on individual file size, though very large archives may take longer to process.
What format is the output? Archives are created in standard ZIP format, compatible with every major operating system without additional software.
Can I upload the archive to FileShot? Yes — after creation you can upload the archive directly to FileShot for encrypted sharing with expiring links.
Secure Archive Management
FileShot's archive builder creates standard ZIP files directly in your browser without uploading any data to external servers. Add multiple files and folders, set compression levels, and preview contents before downloading. For sensitive archives, combine our builder with FileShot's encryption tool to create password-protected compressed files that are safe to share over email, cloud storage, or messaging platforms. Our archive tools support large files up to several gigabytes, limited only by your device's available memory.
Cross-Platform Compatibility
Archives created with FileShot use the universal ZIP format, ensuring compatibility with every major operating system. Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android devices can all open FileShot archives without additional software. We support standard compression algorithms including Deflate and Store modes, giving you control over the trade-off between file size and compression speed. For maximum compatibility, FileShot archives follow the ZIP specification precisely, avoiding proprietary extensions that could cause issues on certain platforms.
