FAQ

Common questions about GZIP compression.

What is GZIP compression?

GZIP compresses a single data stream losslessly, producing a .gz file that any standard tool can decompress.

Can I compress multiple files?

GZIP covers one stream at a time. For several files, bundle them into a TAR first, then compress the TAR.

Is the output compatible?

Yes. The output is a standard .gz file readable by gzip, browsers and most web servers.

Is compression lossy?

No. GZIP is fully lossless — decompressing restores the original bytes exactly.

Are there size limits?

No artificial limits, subject to your browser memory.

Is my file uploaded?

No. Compression happens entirely in your browser.
