Batch Images to ZIP Archive Online — Free

Feed the page as many raster files as you like and it hands back a single ZIP with all of them inside. Packing is done by JSZip in the tab itself, so nothing is uploaded. It solves a problem of count rather than size: mail forms accept one attachment, Telegram and WhatsApp recompress photos sent one by one into a gallery, and clicking forty screenshots into a client portal one at a time takes half an hour. Inside the archive every picture is byte-for-byte the file you started with. See also: shrinking the photos before you archive them, collecting the same shots into one PDF, resizing a batch of pictures first.

How to use it

Click the file field and pick the pictures you want — it accepts any raster format through the image/* mask.
Grab whole groups at once: Ctrl+A and Shift-click on the first and last file both work in the system file dialog.
Read the log the tool prints for the accepted files — it shows exactly what will go into the archive and how big it is.
Press Pack Expedition Bag (ZIP). The archive is built in the browser and offered for download straight away.
Use Clear Logs to wipe the log before the next batch so old entries do not mix with the new ones.

FAQ

How many files can I pack, and how large can they be?

The tool sets no hard cap; the limit is the tab's memory, because the whole archive is assembled there before it is saved. A regular laptop handles several hundred photos totalling a couple of gigabytes. If the tab reloads mid-build, split the selection in half and produce two archives instead.

Will ZIP make my photos smaller?

Barely, and that is expected. JPEG, PNG and WebP are already compressed by their own codecs, so a second pass through ZIP buys a few percent at best. The point of the archive here is different: turn forty attachments into one and keep messengers from recompressing the images. If you need a smaller payload, shrink the pictures before packing.

What happens if two files share the same name?

If you pulled pictures from several folders and two share a filename, the archive gets confusing: names inside a ZIP are flat and the original folders are not preserved. Rename the duplicates before selecting them, or build two separate archives. The accepted-files log makes the clash easy to spot beforehand.

Is EXIF metadata kept inside the archive?

Yes, entirely. The tool never decodes or re-encodes an image; it drops the original bytes into the ZIP container untouched. Capture date, camera model, orientation and GPS coordinates all survive. Keep that in mind when sending personal photos onward — the location tags travel with the archive.

Can I add a PDF or a video alongside the pictures?

The file field is restricted by an image/* mask, so other types are hidden in the picker by default and will not reach the archive. This page is built for a batch of images. For a mixed set, your operating system's own archiver is the better tool — on Windows that is Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder.

Does this work from a phone?

Yes. Mobile Chrome and Safari can both select multiple shots from the gallery and save the finished archive into Files or the downloads folder. Memory is the constraint: a phone kills the tab sooner than a desktop browser, so a hundred full-resolution camera photos may cause a reload. Batches of 20-30 are trouble-free.
