How to use the Unzip Files (ZIP Extractor)
- Choose a .zip file.
- Browse the list of files inside.
- Download the ones you need.
What does this tool do?
Handy on phones, tablets and shared computers where you can't install software. The archive is opened entirely in your browser. As a safety measure, archives that would expand to more than 1 GB are refused, which protects against “zip bombs”.
Why use it?
- Open ZIPs on phones and Chromebooks.
- Grab one file without extracting everything.
- See what's inside before extracting.
Supported formats
Standard ZIP archives, including ones made by Windows, macOS and most tools. RAR, 7z and encrypted ZIPs aren't supported yet.
Privacy
Your files are processed entirely in your browser using built-in web technologies. They are not uploaded to our servers, and closing the page clears them from memory. There's no account to create and nothing to install.
Frequently asked questions
Are my files uploaded?
No. Files are read and processed in your browser, and results are saved straight back to your device.
