ElaraZip

Your files, up to 6× smaller. Guaranteed identical.

ElaraZip shrinks a PowerPoint, a log, a scan or a code folder far smaller than Windows ZIP, and refuses to write the file unless it can prove it comes back byte-for-byte. Zero network calls. Right-click, done.

Get it from the Microsoft Store → Download from GitHub
winget install ElaraCortex.ElaraZip

The contract we keep

For every file we write:

sha256(original) == sha256(decompress(compress(original)))

If the two do not match, we do not write the file. No flags. No "fast mode". No way to turn it off.

Why people trust it

It refuses to lie

Every operation prints a SHA-256 fingerprint of the original and the restored copy. They must match, or the smaller file does not get written.

It refuses to phone home

Zero network calls. No analytics, no accounts, no telemetry. Run Wireshark while it works, nothing leaves your machine.

It refuses to lock you in

Every line of source converts to free Apache-2.0 software after 24 months, automatically, irrevocably, no matter what.

The whole instruction manual

Right-click a file → "Compress with ElaraZip". The smaller file appears next to the original. To restore: double-click it. That's it.
