Why BunchTool

Why use our free Folder to ZIP?

🔒
Zero server uploads

Your data is processed entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing ever travels over a network to any server — making BunchTool the most private option available.

Instant local processing

Because everything runs locally in your browser, there are no upload queues or server wait times. Results appear in seconds regardless of your internet speed — or even without any connection at all.

📁
Preserve Directory Layouts

Our tool maintains complex folder hierarchies, nested sub-folders, and original dates exactly as they exist on your computer.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is the Folder to ZIP free to use?
Yes — completely free with no file-size limits, no daily usage caps and no premium tier. All 247 tools on BunchTool are free forever, with no upsells or paywalls.
Is my data safe and private?
Absolutely. Your data is processed entirely inside your browser using client-side JavaScript. Nothing ever leaves your device or is uploaded to any server.
Does the Folder to ZIP work offline?
Yes. Once this page has loaded in your browser, the tool continues to work without an internet connection. Your browser handles all the processing locally on your device.
How does it preserve the folder structure?
By using the browser's webkitdirectory files reader, we capture the relative path of every selected file (e.g. 'project/src/main.js') and rebuild that folder hierarchy inside the ZIP file structure recursively.
Can I zip empty directories?
Standard browser file inputs do not expose empty directories via file selectors, only files with path properties. Consequently, empty directories are omitted, but folders containing at least one file are fully preserved.
