ZIP IT
Guide

ZIP IT lets you work directly inside your deployment zip. Browse every file, preview HTML and text content, add new files, remove old ones, and download a clean repackaged zip — all without touching your file system. It's the fastest way to make a quick change to a live site.

The Panels
Load Zip
Drag your site zip into the drop zone or click to browse. ZIP IT reads the archive and lists every file inside immediately.
Package Stats
Shows total file count, zip size, and a breakdown of file types. Useful for spotting bloat before deploying.
Contents
The full file list. Click any file to preview it. Use the toolbar to add new files or delete existing ones.
File Preview
Shows the content of the selected file. HTML, CSS, JS, and text files display as readable code. Use this to spot issues before repackaging.
Smart Mode
🔒
Smart Mode — ZIP IT requires Smart Mode to load and repackage full site zips. Free users can preview single files only.
Tips
ZIP IT is the last step in most workflows — build your pages, run them through SEO IT and NAV IT, then ZIP IT to package the final deployment.
Use the file preview to do a quick check on any page before shipping.
Adding a file? It goes into the zip root by default — keep your site architecture flat.
