Text Compression Tool
Welcome to the online Text Compression Tool. This tool allows you to encode and decode text using various compression algorithms including GZIP, Deflate, and Brotli.
Supported Compression Algorithms
- GZIP: Widely used compression algorithm, great for web content and general text compression
- Deflate: The core compression algorithm used by GZIP, provides good compression ratios
- Brotli: Modern compression algorithm developed by Google, often provides better compression than GZIP
How to Use
- Encode: Enter text in the left panel, select an encoding operation, and get the compressed output
- Decode: Paste encoded text in the right panel, select a decoding operation, and get the original text
- File Upload: Upload text files to process larger content
- Samples: Use the sample buttons to try different compression algorithms
Compression Examples
GZIP Compression
GZIP is excellent for compressing text data and is widely supported across all platforms and browsers. It's particularly effective for web content, JSON data, and log files.
Plain Text:
Hello World! This is a sample text for GZIP compression testing. It contains various characters and should compress nicely.

Brotli Compression
Brotli is a newer compression algorithm that typically provides 15-25% better compression than GZIP. It's especially effective for web content and is supported by modern browsers.
Plain Text:
This is a sample text for Brotli compression. Brotli is a newer compression algorithm that often provides better compression ratios than GZIP.

Deflate Compression
Deflate is the core compression algorithm that GZIP uses. It provides good compression ratios and is widely supported. It's often used in ZIP files and other archive formats.
Plain Text:
This is a sample text for Deflate compression. Deflate is the core compression algorithm used by GZIP and is widely supported.

Use Cases
- Web Development: Compress API responses, static content, and configuration files
- Data Storage: Reduce storage requirements for text-based data
- Network Transfer: Minimize bandwidth usage when transmitting text data
- Log Compression: Compress log files for efficient storage and transfer
- Configuration Files: Compress JSON, XML, or other configuration formats
Technical Details
- All compressed output is encoded in Base64 for easy transmission
- GZIP and Deflate use the Pako library for browser-based compression
- Brotli encoding/decoding requires server-side processing for full functionality
- Supports file upload for processing larger text files
- Real-time compression with immediate feedback
