FAQ

What is Bzip2 Compress?

Bzip2 Compress bzip2 is a compression library developed by Julian Seward (of GHC fame) that uses the Burrows-Wheeler algorithm. It only supports compressing single files and its compression is slow, however is more effective than Deflate (.gz & .zip). It runs entirely in your browser, so your data stays private.

Is Bzip2 Compress free to use?

Yes. Bzip2 Compress is free, unlimited and works without registration or installation.

Does my data get uploaded?

Good to know

Everything runs client-side, so extremely large inputs are limited by your browser tab’s memory rather than by a server upload limit.
The worked example below could not be pre-computed for this tool (threw: function is not iterable (cannot read property Symbol(Symbol.iterator))); the interactive tool above still works normally.
