Stream Compression: GZIP, BZIP2 & ZSTD
Single-file stream compression algorithms and web transfer codecs.
Your files are processed entirely in your web browser using HTML5 Canvas and WebAssembly. Zero data ever leaves your device.
Skip upload and download queues. Conversions happen locally at full machine hardware speed without server limits.
Compliant with official ISO, W3C, and IETF specifications to guarantee output compatibility across modern operating systems.

Technical Specifications & Codec Breakdown
Compression Codecs vs. Multi-File Archives
A common misconception is that GZIP (.gz) is like a ZIP file. GZIP compresses only a single file or stream. To compress a whole folder on Linux, tools first combine the folder into a single file with TAR, and then compress that file with GZIP (.tar.gz).
Zstandard (ZSTD): The Modern Web & Cloud Standard
Created by Facebook, Zstandard combines the high compression ratios of DEFLATE with blistering decompression speeds (often exceeding 1 GB/s per core), making it the modern standard for database backups and web asset streaming.
