I want to give the user option to download her/his images in zip file.

is there any code that I could use, to select several images from cloud storage , compress them and download them as zip file.

Have a look at this repo, which contains the sample code to create a zip archive of GCS images and other files and to download the zip file.

To run the sample code in the SDK use: http://localhost:8080/blob_upload This code uploads files to GCS, which will be added to the archive for download.

blobarchive() in blob_files.py creates the zip archive.
