Sample Scenarios:

Example 1: Compressing Multiple Documents into a ZIP File
You have three important Word documents that need to be emailed to a colleague. Instead of sending them separately, you can compress them into a single ZIP file:

  • Upload the three Word documents using the file selection button.
  • Choose ZIP Format from the dropdown.
  • Click "Compress Files".
  • After the ZIP file is created, download it and attach it to your email.

Example 2: Compressing Images for Faster Upload
You want to upload several images to a website, but the file sizes are too large. Use the File Compression Tool to reduce the file sizes:

  • Select multiple image files from your folder.
  • Choose ZIP Format.
  • Click "Compress Files".
  • Download the compressed ZIP file and upload it to your website.

Example 3: Compressing Files for Backup (TAR Format)
If you're using a Linux-based system, you might need a TAR file to archive a collection of files:

  • Select your files, including documents and folders.
  • Choose TAR Format from the dropdown (please note that TAR compression is currently not supported in browsers, and will show an error message).
  • If supported, the TAR file will be created, and you can download it for archiving.

Common Issues and Troubleshooting:

  • Error: "No files selected" – Make sure you've selected at least one file before clicking the "Compress Files" button.
  • Error: "TAR compression is not supported" – Currently, TAR file compression is not supported in browsers without additional libraries. You can use other software for TAR compression or contact us for updates.

By adding this file compression tool to your workflow, you can simplify file storage, reduce sizes for email attachments, and ensure quick uploads.
