Your files never need to leave your device

Aback ZIP has no backend. The browser is the compute layer: parsing, compression, extraction, splitting, merging, and inspection all run locally.

Local compute

Archive processing runs in your browser with no server-side engine. There is no backend to upload to.

Local storage

Your input files and generated archives live in browser memory only. Nothing is persisted remotely.

No tracking of files

No filenames, paths, contents, hashes, or CRC values are transmitted. Ever.
