Frequently asked questions
Can I password-protect a TAR.XZ archive?
Depends on the format: 7Z and ZIP support AES-256 encryption (7Z can also encrypt file names). TAR-family formats are plain containers without encryption.
Which compression level should I choose?
Higher levels compress smaller but take longer. Level 5 is a good default; use 9 for long-term archiving and 1 for speed.
Can I split the archive into volumes?
Yes — set a volume size in the options panel and the archive is split into numbered parts of that size.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. Compression happens entirely inside your browser — your files never leave your device.
