Frequently Asked Questions

Is the gzip compressor really free?

Yes, our gzip file compressor is completely free to use. There are no hidden charges, premium features, or limitations on the number of compressions.

What file types can I compress?

You can compress any file type using gzip compression. This includes documents, images, archives, videos, executables, and any other file format. Gzip works best with text-based files but can compress any binary data.

How do I decompress a .gz file?

To decompress a .gz file, you can use standard gzip tools. On Windows, use 7-Zip or WinRAR. On Mac and Linux, use the built-in `gunzip` command or double-click the file. Most archive tools support gzip decompression.

How much can I reduce the file size?

Compression ratios vary depending on your file content. Text files and code files often compress by 70-90%. Binary files like images or videos that are already compressed may see smaller reductions (0-30%). Uncompressed data typically compresses the best.

Are my files secure during compression?

Yes, all file processing happens securely on our servers. Files are processed immediately and are not stored permanently. We prioritize your privacy and security.

Can I compress multiple files at once?

Currently, the tool processes one file at a time. If you need to compress multiple files, you can create an archive (like a .zip or .tar file) first, then compress that archive with gzip.

What compression level is used?

We use gzip compression level 9, which is the maximum compression level. This provides the best compression ratio but may take slightly longer to process very large files.

Does gzip compression lose data?

No, gzip is a lossless compression algorithm. Your original file data is preserved perfectly. When you decompress the .gz file, you get back the exact original file with no data loss.
