Workflow fit

Use Folder to ZIP in the right place

If you are unsure, use the related tools and family hub to choose the closest workflow before committing to an output.

Best for

Local file and archive workflows where packaging, extraction, listing, type checks, metadata, or hashes help before sharing.
Inspecting what a file appears to be before using it in a larger workflow.
A focused archive task where the expected output is zip.

Before you start

This tool runs in the browser, so keep the tab open until the result is created and downloaded or copied.
Treat files and archives from unknown sources as untrusted, even when the extension looks normal.
List archive contents before extraction when you only need to inspect what is inside.
Keep source files until the ZIP or TAR output has been opened and checked.
Confirm the exact input and output expectation before running the tool.

Quality checks

Review the output before sharing, publishing, submitting, or using it as a final artifact.
Verify file count, names, sizes, checksums, and detected type against what you expected.
Remember that file type and metadata inspection are not malware scanning.
Checksum final artifacts when exact byte identity matters.
Download and open the file output before leaving the page or deleting the source copy.

Common mistakes

Opening extracted files automatically is risky; inspect and download deliberately.
Assuming an extension proves file type. Byte signatures and browser metadata can disagree.
Using checksum output as proof that a file is safe. Checksums prove identity, not safety.
Closing the tab before downloading or copying a browser-generated result.
Treating the first result as final without checking the destination requirement.

Continue the workflow

Use these when the current result is only one step in a longer task.

Verify or clean up

Use these when the output needs checking, cleanup, comparison, compression, or a final share-ready pass.
