Installation ​

Windows ​

  1. Download the NSIS installer (recommended, ~6.8 MB) or the MSI installer
  2. Right-click and choose Run as administrator
  3. Follow the wizard (default path C:\Program Files\Zipoly\)

If Windows Defender blocks the first launch, click "More info" → "Run anyway".

Linux ​

Ubuntu / Debian:

bash
sudo dpkg -i Zipoly_*_amd64.deb
sudo apt-get install -f   # if dependencies are missing

Fedora / RedHat:

bash
sudo rpm -i Zipoly-*-1.x86_64.rpm
# or sudo dnf install ./Zipoly-*-1.x86_64.rpm

If dependencies are missing, install them manually: sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0 (Debian/Ubuntu) or sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 gtk3 (Fedora). See Troubleshooting.

macOS ​

Option 1 (recommended): DMG installer

  1. Download the macOS installer (dmg)
  2. Double-click to open it, then drag Zipoly.app into the /Applications folder
  3. On first launch, right-click the app and choose Open (or go to System Settings → Privacy & Security → Open Anyway)

Option 2: portable App.zip

  1. Download Zipoly.app.zip
  2. Unzip to get Zipoly.app and double-click to run (no need to move it into Applications)
  3. Right-click to open on first launch, just like above

macOS Gatekeeper blocks unsigned apps — right-click → Open to bypass. Code signing and notarization are planned for a future release.

Free Tier ​

Zipoly follows a Freemium model: the free tier is available forever, with no time limit — only per-file size is restricted, one file at a time.

FAQ ​

Is macOS supported? ​

Yes — macOS 10.15+ (Apple Silicon / Intel). Download the DMG and drag it into Applications, or grab Zipoly.app.zip and run it directly; the first launch requires right-click → Open to bypass Gatekeeper.

How big is the installer? Does it need internet? ​

Under 10 MB. Neither installation nor daily use requires an internet connection — model data never leaves your machine.

The app won't launch or my antivirus blocks it ​

On Windows, if Defender SmartScreen appears on first run, click "More info" → "Run anyway"; for third-party antivirus, whitelist Zipoly. If problems persist, run Tool Diagnostics under System Settings.

Linux reports missing dependencies? ​

Debian/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install libwebkit2gtk-4.1-0 libgtk-3-0; Fedora: sudo dnf install webkit2gtk4.1 gtk3. See Troubleshooting.

How does the free tier differ from a license? ​

Identical features — the difference is file size and batch: free handles 20MB per file (5MB textures), one at a time; licensed raises this to 500MB with unlimited batching. The viewer, screenshots and operation log are free forever.
