zip-page

Minimal utility for zipping entire web pages into a URL.

Uses the Compression Streams API for gzip.

Code repository mirrors: GitHub, Codeberg, git.ardis.lu

Example usage

1. Copy the HTML for a web page you want to share:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
  <meta charset="UTF-8">
  <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
  <title>Hello, world!</title>
</head>

<body>
  <main>
    <p>This is a whole HTML page!</p>
  </main>
</body>

</html>

2. Paste the entire HTML code into the text area:

3. Click "Get zip-page URL" to compress and encode the HTML into a URL:

4. Open the URL in any web browser to view your zip-page:

Maximum content size

The maximum size of content you can store using this tool will depend on:

• How well the gzip algorithm compresses the content
• The end-user's specific hardware/web browser

From my basic testing I found the rough limits to be around:

• ~500 kB of uncompressed content, or
• ~500,000 characters of URL length
