Zip files

Up to ten files, any kind, into one archive that opens everywhere.

More free conversions, where you upload. The Fylane extension does the same work inside any upload form, on its own free share every day.About the extension

How to zip files

  1. Drop the files.
  2. Order them if it matters.
  3. Press Zip and download the archive.

What happens to your file

The files are stored in one ZIP, each under its own name, with the standard compression every unzipper reads. Pictures, audio and video are already compressed and take about the same space inside; documents and text shrink.

The archive is named after the first file; the files themselves are unchanged.

Questions

Can I password-protect the ZIP?

Not here — ZIP passwords are weak and unevenly supported. Protect the documents themselves (Protect PDF) and zip those.

Is there a size limit?

Each file up to 50 MB, ten files per archive.

Do this in code

curl -X POST https://api.fylane.dev/v1/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $FYLANE_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "file_id": "<file id>",
    "operation": "archive.create",
    "options": {
      "file_ids": [
        "<second file id>"
      ]
    }
  }'

The same operation, archive.create — Up to ten files become one ZIP, entries named after the files they were. Upload first with the quickstart; every option is on the operations page. 500 free credits a month, then $5 per thousand.
