Gzip file utility

Compress or restore one local gzip file with bounded output.

Your input

Outputs are cleared when the input changes.

Result

Enter your data or use the example, then run the tool.

Worked example

The sample creates a generated text file for compression. Download it, select decompress and reupload the .gz to verify a round trip.

Method

Pako gzip compresses the actual bytes. Inflate streams output chunks with a cumulative byte/ratio guard before assembling the result. This is a single stream, not a multi-file ZIP archive.

Limits

Input ≤10 MiB, restored data ≤32 MiB and ≤100× compressed size. Highly repetitive legitimate files can hit the ratio guard. Gzip only for restoration; no ZIP, password encryption, original filename recovery or multi-file packaging. Compression may increase size.
