FAQ

Why does my Mac zip show __MACOSX and .DS_Store on Windows?

When macOS compresses files, it adds hidden metadata (a __MACOSX folder, .DS_Store, and ._ resource-fork files). Other systems show these as clutter. This tool removes them.

Is my zip uploaded anywhere?

No. The zip is read and rebuilt entirely in your browser — your files never leave your device. (Only the zip engine code is downloaded.)

What exactly gets removed?

The __MACOSX folder, every .DS_Store, AppleDouble ._ files, and Windows Thumbs.db / desktop.ini. Your real files and folders are kept untouched.

Does it cost anything?

No — it is completely free, no signup.
