Save as Zip

A simple and efficient VS Code extension that lets you save folders as zip files with just a right-click.

Features

✨ One-Click Zip Creation: Right-click any folder and create a zip file instantly 📁 Preserves Folder Structure: Maintains your original folder hierarchy in the zip 📊 Progress Tracking: Shows real-time progress while creating the zip 💾 Smart File Size Display: Automatically shows the final zip size in B, KB, or MB ⚡ Maximum Compression: Uses highest compression level for smaller file sizes 🔄 Safe Overwrite: Asks for confirmation before replacing existing zip files

How to Use

  1. Right-click on any folder in VS Code's explorer
  2. Select "Save as Zip" from the context menu
  3. Wait for the compression to complete
  4. Find your zip file in the same location as the original folder

That's it! Your folder will be zipped and ready to use.

Notes

  • The zip file will have the same name as your folder
  • If a zip with the same name exists, you'll be asked before overwriting
  • Progress is shown in the notification area
  • After completion, you'll see the final file size
