ZIP to link

The question everybody has about an archive is "is the thing I need in here?", and every other way of sharing one answers it by making them download the whole file first.

Drop anything. Leave with a link.

Drag a file onto this sheet, paste from your clipboard, or choose one below. 2L picks the right way to show it.

What you get

Not just somewhere to put it.

The link is the easy part. What matters is the page on the other end of it.

The contents, foldered

A real file tree, built from the paths inside the archive, with folders that fold shut. Each folder says how many files it holds and how much they weigh.

Named, not just listed

Every entry is described — a .sldprt says SolidWorks model, a .gguf says model weights — from a standards-backed registry covering more than 1,400 extensions.

Read without unpacking

The listing comes from the archive’s own index, which sits at the end of the file, so nothing is decompressed to produce it. A 300 MB build artefact lists instantly.

TAR without unpacking files

A plain .tar is walked through its bounded member headers and shown as a tree. Compressed .tar.gz, RAR and 7-Zip remain intact and get an honest container preview rather than being expanded on the server.

Questions

About zip to link

Which archives can be listed?
The ZIP family — including .zip, .jar, .war, .apk, .aab, .ipa, .cbz, .xpi, .vsix, .whl and NuGet packages — plus plain .tar. RAR, 7-Zip and compressed tarballs remain safely unexpanded.
Can people download one file out of it?
Not yet — the link serves the archive itself. The listing is there so nobody downloads 300 MB to find out it was the wrong build.
What about an encrypted zip?
Its entries are listed with a note that they are encrypted. Nothing inside can be read without the password, which 2L does not have.
Is an .apk allowed?
On a paid plan, where there is a verified address behind every upload. Without an account, programs are refused — that is an abuse rule rather than a technical one.
Everything else

The same box takes all of it.

There is no format menu anywhere in this product. These pages exist because people search for them, not because 2L works differently for each one.
