Data Compression, Your Way

Up to 90% savings on storage and bandwidth costs. Your data stays private. Always secure.

Up to 90% Savings

Dramatically reduce storage and data transfer costs across your entire infrastructure

Complete Privacy

Your data stays within your network, or is encrypted at rest and deleted automatically — Smallest.zip never has persistent access

Secure by Design

Run directly in your private network with zero external access, or use our API with full encryption at rest and in transit

Option 1

Cloud API

Compress via our hosted API — simple integration, zero infrastructure

Call our REST API from anywhere. Upload your file, get back the compressed result. No servers to manage, no containers to deploy.

This is the fastest way to get started — sign up, get an API key, and start compressing in minutes.

Data Handling Guarantees

Immediate processing

Files are processed in memory and returned in the response. No persistent storage is required for the compression itself.

Encrypted at rest

Any temporarily stored files are encrypted at rest using AES-256 encryption.

Deleted within 7 days

All stored data is automatically purged within 7 days. No exceptions.

Never used for training

Your data is never used for training models or any other purpose. Ever. Period.

No sharing, no selling

Your data is never shared with third parties, sold, or accessed without your explicit permission.

Option 2

Self-Hosted Container

Run Smallest.zip entirely within your own infrastructure — your data never leaves your network

Deploy our compression engine as a container image in your private cloud or on-premises environment. The container runs the same compression technology as our API, but entirely under your control.

Available on all major cloud providers, or pull the image directly to your own servers.

Deployment Options

AWS

Deploy on ECS, EKS, or Lambda. Available as an ECR image. Use VPC endpoints so traffic never traverses the public internet.

Google Cloud

Run on Cloud Run, GKE, or Compute Engine. Pull from Artifact Registry. Use Private Service Connect for network isolation.

Azure

Deploy on Azure Container Instances, AKS, or App Service. Available via Azure Container Registry. Use Private Endpoints for complete isolation.

Why Self-Host?

Data never leaves your network

Your files are compressed and decompressed entirely within your own infrastructure. Nothing is sent to Smallest.zip.

Zero access by Smallest.zip

We have no access to your data, your files, your logs, or your infrastructure. The container runs independently.

No internet required

The container operates fully offline. Use cloud provider private networking so compression traffic never touches the public internet.

Compliance-ready

Meets the data residency and sovereignty requirements of HIPAA, GDPR, SOC 2, and other regulatory frameworks.
