Allow users to download all files at once
Still sending users 12 separate invoice links — or worse, 12 separate emails? Bundle all their PDFs into a single clean ZIP in seconds. Users click once, download everything, stay compliant. The PDF to ZIP API generates ready-to-download archives on demand, so you can zip multiple PDFs for download without server-side complexity.

Why bulk download matters for SaaS and GDPR compliance
GDPR requires data portability
Under GDPR Article 20, users have the right to receive all their personal data in a portable format. ZIP download of user documents is the standard implementation.
Multiple download links frustrate users
12 separate invoice links means 12 clicks, 12 browser saves, and 12 chances to miss a file. Users abandon the process and contact support instead.
Account closure requires data handover
When a customer cancels, they expect to leave with their data. A one-click ZIP export of all their documents makes offboarding clean and legally defensible.
Add bulk download to your app in 3 steps
- 1
Collect the user's PDF URLs or file IDs
When a user requests "download all," query your database for their document URLs. Pass the full list to the API.
- 2
POST to PDF to ZIP API
The API fetches all PDFs, bundles them into a ZIP with meaningful filenames, and returns a download URL. Handles any number of files.
- 3
Redirect the user to the ZIP download URL
The ZIP URL is time-limited and single-use for security. The user gets one clean download. Support tickets about missing files drop immediately.
