- Adjust the available options for the result you need.

Private processing and offline access
This tool does not submit your input to a conversion server. Processing takes place inside the browser using local JavaScript and standard Web APIs. After the PWA has been installed or cached, the page and its core features remain available without an internet connection. Closing or clearing the page removes unsaved input; the tool does not create an account or cloud history.
Tips for accurate results
- Browser support for CompressionStream is required.
- Base64 adds text overhead after compression; compare byte counts rather than visible character counts.
- Do not treat compression as encryption.
