Unzip Files
Open a ZIP in your browser, see what is inside and save the files you need.

Files are processed on this device. Nothing is uploaded.
How to use Unzip Files
- Add a .zip file.
- Look through the list of files inside, with their sizes.
- Select Download next to each file you want.
How it works
The archive is opened by your browser, so its contents are listed immediately and nothing is sent to a server. Each file is unpacked only when you ask for it, which keeps memory use low even for large archives.
A word of caution that applies to any unzip tool: a ZIP can contain anything, including programs. Only open files you were expecting, from senders you trust, and be careful with file types that can run code (.exe, .msi, .bat, .scr, .js, Office files with macros). This tool never runs what it unpacks.
macOS helper entries (__MACOSX, .DS_Store) are hidden from the list because they are not real content.
Example
A photos.zip from a friend: open it, check the 40 file names and sizes, and download only the three pictures you want.
Frequently asked questions
Is the ZIP uploaded?
No. It is read on your device. You can disconnect from the internet after the page loads and it still works.
Can it open password-protected ZIP files?
No. Encrypted archives are detected and reported, but not opened.
Can it open RAR, 7z or TAR files?
No, only ZIP. Those formats need different software, such as the free 7-Zip (Windows) or The Unarchiver (Mac).
Can I download everything at once?
Files are saved one at a time. To extract a whole archive in one go, your operating system’s built-in unzip (right-click → Extract or double-click) is faster.
Is there a limit on size or number of files?
None set by us. Archives that unpack to more than about 2 GB exceed what a browser can handle.
Limitations
- ZIP only: no RAR, 7z, TAR or GZ.
- No password-protected (encrypted) archives.
- Files are saved individually, not as a folder tree.
