Open and Extract a ZIP File

See what is inside a ZIP, with sizes, preview pictures and text, and save one file or all of them. Zip bombs and unsafe file names are refused. Nothing is uploaded.

Private · on device. Runs in your browser: your file is not uploaded. No sign-up.

A .zip file, up to 2 GB unpacked
Nothing is uploaded, and nothing in the ZIP is run. The list is read first and checked: zip bombs (archives that claim far more than a device can hold, or overlap themselves) are refused, and names that would escape the folder are never extracted. Password-protected ZIPs cannot be opened here.

How to open a ZIP file

  1. Choose the ZIP file. The list of what is inside appears at once.
  2. Press Preview to look at a picture or text file, or Save to download one file.
  3. Press Save all to save everything; on Chrome or Edge on a computer you can pick a folder and keep the folders inside.

Frequently asked questions

Is my ZIP uploaded?

No. The ZIP is read inside this browser tab. Only the files you save are unpacked, and they go straight to your device.

How do I open a ZIP on an iPhone or Android phone?

Choose the ZIP here, then press Save next to each file you want, or Save all. On a phone the files go to Downloads (the Files app on iPhone) one by one.

What is a zip bomb, and what happens if I open one?

A zip bomb is a small ZIP made to unpack into an enormous amount of data and freeze or crash the device opening it. This tool reads the list of files first and refuses archives that claim more than 2 GB unpacked, hold more than 10,000 files, grow far more than real files do, or overlap themselves. Each file is also stopped at its declared size while unpacking.

Why are some files marked "not extracted"?

Their names would place them outside the folder you save to (for example "../../file") or they are links to other places on a computer. These are tricks used by harmful archives, so they are listed but never saved.

Can it open password-protected ZIPs, RAR or 7z files?

No. It opens ordinary ZIP files (and files built on ZIP, such as .docx). Password-protected entries are listed but cannot be opened.
