# Create Bundles

**A Bundle is an Archived folder in Zip format containing Multiple Files and File Types.** 

\
The benefit of creating a Bundle beside saving time, is that when uploaded to IPFS it is uploaded as a CAR file, making accessing of your files much more efficient and less costly. <br>

\
Uploading CAR (Content Addressed Archive) files to IPFS offers efficient, deterministic, and scalable data handling by bundling multiple files with pre-computed CIDs into a single archive. This enables faster uploads, consistent content identifiers, offline generation, and bulk pinning—ideal for large datasets like NFT collections. \
\
CAR files also give developers fine-grained control over IPFS DAG structures and are widely supported by many other IPFS service providers.<br>

### Before Uploading&#x20;

When creating a bundle you have to keep in mind some things:

* If you have nested Folders (Folders within Folders) in your uploaded Zip archive, they will be flattened and all files inside them will be moved in one single Folder.&#x20;
* Avoid files with the same name if you have nested Folders, as they will be overwritten, resulting in one single file with that name.
* Generally we can support any File Type, although currently we are limiting it to the ones below for security reasons until we iron out all edge cases. If you want a specific new file type, please contact us to add it.&#x20;

<mark style="color:yellow;">\*The whole process can take a couple of minutes to complete, depending by the size of the Zip archive, so please let it work in the background and refresh the page if needed.</mark> \
\
Once all the storing to IPFS process is finished (4 steps), your Bundle will appear in the table with all the details necessary.&#x20;

* Name/Slug of Bundle
* Viewing the included files
* Total amount of accepted files
* Total size of files included
* Date

You can also search individual files in the list by name.
