There are tons of free compressing utilities available but what would do if you are using a machine with limited access and cannot install anything? In cases like these you are forced to reply on web-based tools.

One such great tool is FileTac. FileTac ^[1] allows you to compress files online and download them as a zip file to your computer. You can add up to 30 files to your archive and each file can have a maximum size of 10 MB. No software to install and no registration to do, simply browse your hard drive and select the files you want to compress. Then click compress and your zip file will be ready within a few seconds.

You can access it from any OS and any browser hence making it universally accessible. FileTac also offers an option to upload images ^[2] and email large files ^[3].

Techie-Buzz Verdict:

FileTac is a great utility to zip files online without any hassle. With a simple interface and easy-to-use functionality, it is one of the most useful web-based utilities. It would be even better if one could upload a complete folder instead of individual files.
