How to Use ZIP Creator

Compress multiple files into a single ZIP archive

Select Files to Compress

Start by clicking the "Select Files" button to choose the files you want to compress into a ZIP archive. You can select multiple files at once by holding the Ctrl key (or Command key on Mac) while clicking.

You can select files of any type - documents, images, videos, etc.

Set Compression Options

After selecting your files, you can configure the compression options:

  • Compression Level: Choose between "Fast" (less compression, quicker process) or "Best" (maximum compression, slower process).
  • Password Protection: If you want to secure your ZIP file, check the "Add password protection" box and enter a strong password.
Remember your password! If you forget it, you'll need to use our Password Recovery tool to access your files.
3

Create ZIP Archive

Once you've selected your files and set your options, click the "Create ZIP" button to start the compression process. A progress bar will show you the status of the operation.

4

Download Your ZIP File

When the compression is complete, you'll see a success message and a "Download ZIP" button. Click this button to save the compressed archive to your device.

Your ZIP file is now ready to use! You can share it via email, upload it to cloud storage, or keep it as a backup.

How to Use File Extractor

Extract files from ZIP and RAR archives

1

Select an Archive to Extract

Click the "Select a ZIP or RAR file" button to choose the archive you want to extract. Our tool supports both ZIP and RAR formats.

If you've forgotten the password, you can use our Password Recovery tool by clicking the "OR USE PASSWORD RECOVERY TOOL" button.
3

Extract Files

Click the "Extract Files" button to begin the extraction process. The tool will analyze the archive and extract its contents.

View and Download Extracted Files

Once extraction is complete, you'll see a list of all files contained in the archive. You can:

Your files have been successfully extracted! You can download them individually or extract another archive.

How to Use Password Recovery

Unlock password-protected archives when you've forgotten the password

Click the "Select a password-protected ZIP or RAR file" button to upload the archive you need to unlock.

Our tool supports both ZIP and RAR password-protected archives.

Initiate Password Recovery

If the archive is confirmed to be password-protected, click the "Brute Force Extract" button to begin the password recovery process. This may take some time depending on the complexity of the password.

The recovery process may take several minutes. Please be patient and do not close the browser window.

Complete Human Verification

Once the password is found, you'll need to complete a quick human verification to prove you're not a bot. Click the "Verify You Are Human" button and complete the captcha challenge.

Tips & Tricks

Get the most out of Ezzy File Tools with these helpful tips

ZIP Creator Tips

  • Strong Passwords

    Use a combination of letters, numbers, and special characters for secure password protection.

  • Organize First

    Organize your files into folders before compressing for better file management.

  • Compression Level

    Use "Best" compression for long-term storage and "Fast" for temporary sharing.

File Extractor Tips

  • Preview First

    Always check the file list before extraction to ensure you're getting the right files.

  • Selective Downloads

    You don't need to download all files - just select the ones you need.

  • Password Management

    Keep a secure record of your archive passwords to avoid needing recovery.

Password Recovery Tips

  • Be Patient

    Password recovery can take time, especially for complex passwords. Don't close your browser.

  • Try to Remember

    Think about patterns you commonly use in passwords - this might help our tool work faster.

  • File Size Matters

    Smaller archives generally process faster than very large ones.

General Best Practices

Save Your Work

Always download your files promptly after processing. Files are automatically deleted after 24 hours.

Stable Connection

Use a stable internet connection when uploading or downloading large files to prevent interruptions.

Modern Browser

Use the latest version of Chrome, Firefox, Edge, or Safari for the best experience.

Descriptive Names

Use clear, descriptive names for your archives to easily identify them later.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Solutions to problems you might encounter

Our tool has a maximum file size limit of 500MB. If you're trying to upload larger files, try:

  • Splitting your files into smaller batches
  • Compressing individual large files first
  • Using a desktop application for very large files

The compression time depends on several factors:

  • File size and quantity - larger files take longer
  • Compression level - "Best" compression takes longer than "Fast"
  • Your internet connection speed
  • Your device's processing power

If it's taking too long, try using "Fast" compression or processing fewer files at once.

Some browsers don't allow selecting entire folders in the file picker. To work around this:

  • Select all files within the folder instead
  • Use Chrome or Edge browsers which have better folder selection support
  • Compress the folder on your device first, then upload it if you need to add password protection

This error typically occurs when:

  • The file is corrupted or incomplete
  • The file is not actually a ZIP or RAR archive despite the extension
  • You're trying to extract an unsupported archive format (we only support ZIP and RAR)

Try downloading the archive again from the source or check if it's in a supported format.

If you're getting an incorrect password error:

  • Double-check for typos in your password
  • Ensure caps lock is not enabled accidentally
  • Try any alternative passwords you might have used
  • If you've forgotten the password, use our Password Recovery tool

If you're having trouble downloading extracted files:

  • Check if your browser is blocking downloads (look for notifications)
  • Ensure you have sufficient storage space on your device
  • Try using a different browser
  • For large files, ensure your internet connection is stable

Password recovery can be time-consuming, especially for complex passwords. Here's what to know:

  • The process may take several minutes to complete
  • More complex passwords take longer to recover
  • Keep the browser window open during the entire process
  • If it's taking more than 15 minutes, you may want to try again later

Not all passwords can be recovered. This depends on:

  • Password complexity - very complex passwords may be unrecoverable
  • Encryption strength - some archives use stronger encryption that's harder to crack
  • Archive format - some formats have better protection than others

If our tool can't recover your password, you may need to try remembering it or consider the file inaccessible.

If you're having trouble with the human verification step:

  • Ensure you're completing the captcha correctly
  • Try refreshing the page and attempting the verification again
  • Disable any ad blockers or privacy extensions that might interfere
  • Try using a different browser
