GUIDE

xHamster album as one .zip

SAVEE18 delivers one file per media item — then one command (or one tap) turns the folder into an archive.

Why the download comes file by file

An xHamster album is a list of independent files on the platform CDN, not a packaged archive. SAVEE18 fetches them one after another, in album order, and saves each one with the album title in the name — so a folder of forty files stays sorted and you can stop in the middle without losing what already arrived.

Saving them separately also means a failure on item 31 does not throw away items 1 to 30: the queue simply continues, and you can re-download only the ones that failed.

Zip the folder on Windows

Select the downloaded files, right-click, Send to → Compressed (zipped) folder. Windows names the archive after the first selected file; rename it if you like.

From the terminal, in the folder that holds the files:

Zip the folder on macOS

Select the files in Finder, right-click and choose Compress. Finder creates Archive.zip next to the selection. Terminal equivalent: zip album.zip *.jpg *.mp4.

Zip the folder on iPhone

Open Files, go to the Downloads folder, tap Select, pick the files, then More → Compress. iOS creates a .zip next to the originals; tap it to unpack.

What goes inside

Each file keeps the name SAVEE18 gave it — album title plus position (Album title - photo 01.jpg, Album title - video 02.mp4) — so the archive is already ordered when unpacked.

Photos are the full-resolution JPG published in the album and videos are the HD MP4, both untouched: nothing is re-compressed on the way, and zipping them again will not shrink them further because both formats are already compressed.

Frequently asked questions

Does SAVEE18 create the zip for me?
No. The tool saves each media item as its own file; the archive is built on your device with the steps on this page.
Will zipping reduce the file size?
Barely. JPG and MP4 are already compressed, so a zip mainly groups the files rather than shrinking them.
Can I download only part of the album and zip that?
Yes. Select the items you want with Download Selected, then zip just those files.
Why download file by file instead of one archive?
Because each item is fetched independently: a failure on one file does not discard the ones already saved, and you can stop at any point.
