Zip your code, not its dependencies.

Archive a project without node_modules, bin, obj or .venv. CodeZipper reads every .gitignore, recognises 40+ project types, and shows you every file before it writes the archive.

Sending a project to a colleague, a client or an AI assistant should not mean shipping two gigabytes of node_modules. CodeZipper opens a folder, reads every .gitignore in it, works out what each sub-project of a monorepo is built with, and leaves the dependencies and build output behind.

Nothing is guessed silently. A live file tree fills in as the scan runs: excluded files in red with the rule that excluded them, files worth a second look in amber, and the archive size updating as you tick things on and off. Then it writes a ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.ZST or RAR, entirely on your own PC.

  • Knows what to leave out

    node_modules and .next for JavaScript, bin and obj for .NET, .venv for Python, target for Rust and Java, and 40+ project types more, applied per sub-project.

  • Shows you everything first

    A live tree of every file, exclusions in red with the rule behind each one, and the archive size updating as you tick.

  • Secrets stay private

    It checks for API keys, tokens and passwords before you share, redacts them in the archive, and can lock ZIP and RAR with AES-256.

  • Ready for AI tools

    Save or copy the selected code as one Markdown or XML file, with a token count for 128K, 200K and 1M context windows.

Everything it does

Scanning

  • Reads every .gitignore, including nested ones in a monorepo
  • Recognises 40+ project types and applies rules per sub-project
  • Colour-coded tree with the reason for each exclusion
  • Filter by All, Included or Excluded, and tick anything back in

Archives and backups

  • ZIP, TAR.GZ, TAR.ZST and RAR (RAR needs WinRAR installed)
  • Fastest, balanced or smallest compression
  • One-click backup to a timestamped local folder
  • Upload each backup to Amazon S3, S3-compatible storage or Azure Blob Storage

Sharing safely

  • Finds API keys, tokens, private keys and passwords before you share
  • Redacts them in the archive, leaving your files untouched
  • AES-256 password protection for ZIP and RAR
  • Cloud keys stay in the Windows Credential Locker
