Frequently Asked Questions

What does PDFs to ZIP actually do to my files?

Nothing beyond packaging. The PDFs are copied into a single pdfs_archive.zip with their original names, unchanged, in the order you added them, so what comes out of the ZIP is byte for byte what went in.

Does zipping make the PDFs smaller?

No. The archive is written without compression, since PDF content is already compressed internally and would barely shrink anyway, so expect the ZIP to be about the combined size of the files. To reduce the size, run them through Compress PDF first and zip the results.

What's the difference between zipping PDFs and merging them?

A ZIP keeps each PDF as a separate file inside one container that the recipient unpacks. Merging joins the pages into one PDF document, which is what you want when the files should be read as a single document; use Merge PDF for that.

What if two of my files have the same name?

Duplicate names are handled automatically: the second file becomes name (1).pdf, the third name (2).pdf, and so on, so nothing gets overwritten inside the archive. Rename the files before uploading if you'd rather have meaningful names.

Can I add non-PDF files to the archive?

No. Only files with a .pdf extension or a PDF file type are accepted; anything else you drop in is ignored. For a mixed bundle, use your operating system's built-in zip feature instead.

Will the recipient need special software to open the archive?

No. The output is a standard ZIP file that Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android open without extra software; double-click or tap it to unpack the PDFs.

Are my PDFs uploaded to build the ZIP?

No. The archive is assembled in your browser, so the files are read from your disk and the ZIP is written back to it without any network transfer. Bundling invoices, contracts, or medical records this way keeps them on your device.
