Opening a ZIP file

Drop the ZIP file in the box or click to choose it. The tool opens the archive in your browser and lists every file with its folder and size. Click a name to preview an image or a text file. Download saves one file; Download all saves everything as a new ZIP.

Password-protected ZIP

If the ZIP file is protected, the tool asks for the password. It works with the old ZIP password and with AES encryption. Without the right password, a protected archive can't be opened.

Other archives too

The same tool also opens RAR, 7z, TAR and GZ files. Drop whatever archive you have.

Why extract online?

Most computers open a ZIP file with a double click. Online extraction helps on a Chromebook, a work laptop without admin rights, or a phone where you need one file from a large archive. Because it all runs in your browser, the archive never leaves your device.
