Extract a ZIP file
Drop a .zip and pull out the files inside it. Each file comes back as its own download, ready to grab on its own or together as an archive. Everything runs in your browser, so the file never leaves your device.
About extracting ZIP files
A ZIP archive bundles many files into one. This tool reads the archive in your browser and unpacks it, handing back each file inside as a separate download. It works on standard, non-encrypted ZIPs — the kind most apps and operating systems create. Folder structure inside the archive is flattened to plain files, so you get the contents without any nested directories to dig through.
Password-protected ZIPs are encrypted, and they cannot be decrypted in the browser. If you drop one, the tool will tell you it could not read it rather than guessing.
Is it private?
Yes. The tool is JavaScript running on your own machine. Nothing is uploaded, stored, or seen by us, because there is no server to send files to.
Frequently asked questions
- How does this unzip a file without uploading it?
- The extraction runs on your device using JavaScript in the browser. Your ZIP is read into memory, unpacked, and turned into downloadable files locally. Nothing is sent to a server, and the tool keeps working even if you go offline after the page loads.
- Can it open password-protected ZIP files?
- No. This tool extracts standard, non-encrypted ZIP archives. Password-protected (encrypted) ZIPs cannot be decrypted in the browser, so the tool reports that it could not read the file. You would need the original tool that created it, with the password, to unlock it.
- How do I download the files inside?
- After extracting, each file inside the ZIP appears as its own download. You can grab them one by one, or use Download all to get them together as a single archive.
- Is it free, and do I need an account?
- It is free with no watermarks, no daily caps, and no sign-up. Drop a ZIP, extract it, and download the files inside.
