Bundle Freelance Deliverables into a Single TAR Archive for Client Handoff
Sending clients a dozen separate files is messy and unprofessional. Deliteful lets freelancers package all final deliverables — PDFs, images, spreadsheets, Word documents — into a single compressed TAR.GZ archive for clean, one-file delivery.
Freelancers across design, writing, development, and consulting regularly close projects with a batch of mixed deliverables: a PDF report, source images, a CSV data export, and a DOCX summary. Sending these as individual email attachments creates version confusion and a poor client experience. A single named archive signals professionalism and simplifies the handoff.
Deliteful supports up to 50 files or 2GB per batch, preserves original filenames inside the archive, and lets you name the archive anything you like — making branded deliveries like client-name-final-assets.tar.gz straightforward. No software installation or command-line knowledge required.
