ZIP privacy

Remove ZIP comments, archive timestamps and operating-system junk. Optionally flatten folders. File contents stay unchanged; processing stays in your browser.

Up to 32 MiB, 1,000 entries and 64 MiB expanded. Encrypted, split and ZIP64 archives are unsupported.

Archive dates are reset to 1980-01-01. Files inside the ZIP keep their original contents and metadata. Output uses no compression and may be larger.

What a ZIP can reveal


Archive entries can store modification dates, comments, extra fields and folder names. Mac and Windows may add files such as .DS_Store, ._filename and Thumbs.db. This tool removes selected junk and rebuilds the archive with neutral ZIP headers.


Check the files inside as well


Repacking a ZIP does not clean an image, document or recording inside it. Those bytes stay unchanged. Use the relevant file cleaner first if you need to remove inner metadata. File names can also identify people or projects.


Flattening puts files at the archive root. If names collide, a numbered suffix keeps both files. This can break software projects and other formats that depend on folders or relative paths. The output is stored without compression and can be larger.


Supported archives


Standard stored and deflated ZIP entries are checked locally, including checksums. The tool rejects unsafe paths, links, ambiguous names, encrypted entries, ZIP64 and split archives. The limits are 32 MiB input, 64 MiB expanded and 1,000 entries. No file is uploaded.
