Simple File Compressor

A tool to reduce the file size of your files. Free online, local, tracking-free, advert-free file compression. Simple and fast.

Now, that the following browser features are implemented by the major vendors:

• Resizable ArrayBuffers (since July 2024)
• transfer ArrayBuffer to a fixed length (since March 2024)
• Compression Streams (since May 2023)

nothing stands in the way of selecting a file, compressing it with the CompressionStream API, creating an archive and downloading it.

For now there are two formats supported: gzip and deflate, with no control over compression strength. In the future this API might be expanded to finer controls and the formats brotli and zstd¹,²,³.

Try it here: File Compressor

• One might say: 7Zip can also do this, why would I use this instead?
• To which one might reply: Yes

Spread the word and star this repo. That's all, thank you for your time.
