À propos de Gzip
Compress and decompress files or Base64 data
Gzip is a stream compression format commonly used for HTTP responses, logs, and generated artifacts. The useful comparison is the final byte size and compatibility with the receiving system, not simply whether the input text looks repetitive.
Comment utiliser cet outil développeur
- Choose compress or decompress and select text, a file, or Base64 Gzip input.
- Review the detected input and run the operation.
- Inspect the result, then copy the Base64 representation or download the decoded file.
Confidentialité et traitement des données
Compression and decompression run in the browser. Large files can consume memory, so use a local copy and follow the tool's size guidance instead of pasting sensitive production archives into an online page.

Questions fréquentes
Is Gzip the same as ZIP?
No. Gzip normally compresses one stream, while ZIP is a container that can hold multiple files and metadata.
Why encode Gzip as Base64?
Base64 lets binary compressed bytes travel through text-only fields. It adds size overhead and should be decoded before writing the actual Gzip file.
Does compression encrypt the file?
No. Gzip protects neither confidentiality nor access. Use encryption separately when the contents must remain private.
