Does TAR.GZ → ZIP lose quality?

The target format compression is neutral (lossless or container-only) - neither degrades nor improves quality.

Password-protected archives?

No. Remove the password in 7-Zip / WinRAR / unzip first, then upload.

XZ and 7Z (both LZMA2) usually produce the smallest files - at the cost of slower compression. ZIP / GZ are faster but bigger.

No - RAR is patent-encumbered and commercial. We can only read it (via unrar-free). For creating use ZIP, 7Z or TAR.GZ.

Can I extract ISO / DMG?

Yes - upload ISO/DMG, pick ZIP as the target, get the contents packaged.

Is the conversion safe?

Yes. Small files convert inside your browser - never uploaded. Larger ones land on our server temporarily and are wiped automatically: 200 MB after 10 min, 100 MB after 20 min, 50 MB after 30 min, smaller after one hour. You can also delete them instantly after download.

Yes - 200 MB max per file. Larger files get rejected for performance and cost reasons.

Do you preserve original quality?

Depends on the pair. Lossy compression (e.g. JPG, MP3) always trims something - we set sensible defaults. Lossless (FLAC, PNG, ZIP) keeps everything 1:1.

Do I need an account?

No. The converter works right away - no signup, no login, no payment.
