📁 Folder to ZIP – Convert Any Folder to ZIP Online

Need to send a whole folder via email or upload to a website? Our Folder to ZIP tool compresses your folder into a single ZIP archive while preserving the complete directory tree – including subfolders, empty directories, and file permissions.

⚙️ How It Works

You select a folder from your computer (or drag & drop). Our tool recursively reads all files and subfolders, then packs them into a standard ZIP archive using Deflate compression. The result is a single .zip file ready for download.

📊 Folder Structure Preservation

💻 Example Use Case

Original: /home/user/project/
├── src/
│   ├── main.js
│   └── style.css
├── README.md
└── .gitignore

After: project.zip (same structure)
