Gzip Text Tool.
Compress UTF-8 text to gzip or decompress a .gz file locally in your browser.
- Data & API
- Runs in your browser
Private. Compression and decompression run in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.
Gzip text
How it works
Two steps.
- 01
Compress: paste text and download a .gz file using the browser’s gzip codec.
- 02
Decompress: upload a small gzip file to recover UTF-8 text in the page.
Features
Highlights.
Client-side only
Uses CompressionStream / DecompressionStream in your browser. No server round trip.
Standard gzip
Output is compatible with gunzip, 7-Zip, and typical Unix pipelines.
Is this the same as the GZ to SQL tool?
GZ to SQL targets database dumps and optional CSV→INSERT. Gzip text is a minimal gzip/not-gzip round-trip for any UTF-8 text.
Why does decompression fail?
The file must be gzip (not zip, xz, or raw deflate). Ensure the payload is valid gzip magic 0x1f 0x8b .
