Files & archives

Inspect, compare, hash, and package files on your device.

Browse the bytes of any file, diff two files precisely, calculate checksums, compress and decompress GZIP, inspect ZIP archives, and build archives with portable names.

Files are read locally, expansion is bounded, and archive metadata is clearly separated from verified contents.

Archives, compression, and inspection

The ZIP creator packages files into one archive with names that work on every operating system. The ZIP inspector lists what an archive contains without extracting anything, and the ZIP extractor pulls out selected files and verifies each one's checksum. For single files, the GZIP tools compress and decompress with integrity checks. The batch file renamer applies prefixes, numbering, and find-and-replace to many file names at once and returns the renamed copies as a ZIP.

For looking inside files, the binary hex viewer shows raw bytes with offsets, which is the fastest way to identify a file's real type from its signature. File compare finds exactly where two files differ, byte by byte.

Safe handling of untrusted files

Archives from unknown sources can be hostile. Zip bombs expand from kilobytes to gigabytes, and path-traversal entries try to write outside the extraction folder. The archive tools limit expansion, reject unsafe entry names, and never execute contents. Inspecting an attachment first and extracting only what you need is a sensible habit for any download.

Files are read into your browser's memory and processed there, with limits of 16 MiB per file and 32 MiB in total so the page stays responsive. Nothing is uploaded, which matters for backups, exports, and documents that contain personal data.
