02 / what you get
What happens to your data
Kept
- Folders (including empty ones) and file names in any language, such as Cyrillic or Polish, are kept
- File dates and Unix permissions are kept, so a script that was executable stays executable
- A standard ZIP that opens on Windows, macOS and Linux without extra software
- Files are compressed with Deflate, so the ZIP is smaller than the files inside
Good to know
- Password-protected 7Z files are not supported, including archives that only hide the file names.
- ZIP compresses less tightly than 7Z, so the result will be larger than your original file.
- Links (shortcuts) and special files inside the archive are left out. Only real files and folders are converted.
- Archives up to 300 MB are accepted. An archive that unpacks to more than 500 MB or 20,000 files is refused.
03 / formats
7Z vs ZIP
7Z
A 7Z file is the archive format of the 7-Zip tool. It usually compresses tighter than ZIP, which makes it popular for large downloads and backups, but Windows and macOS can't open it without extra software.
Used in: Large downloads · Backups · Game mods & software
ZIP
A ZIP file bundles multiple files and folders into one compressed archive — the most universal archive format, readable natively on Windows, Mac, and Linux without installing anything extra.
Used in: File sharing · Software downloads · Email attachments
