How it works and help

A little help along the way

Follow these steps. Every option is explained underneath. Everything happens in your browser; nothing in the archive is sent anywhere.

  1. Open the archiveDrop it on the page or press Choose a file. For a ZIP cut into parts (.z01, .z02 … .zip, or .001, .002 …), choose every part at once. Nothing is uploaded, and there is no size limit but your device's.
  2. See what is insideThe page says how many files there are and how large they are once taken out. Folders open with a press; Find a file looks through every name. Press the eye beside a file to preview a picture, text, sound or a video.
  3. Type the password, if it has oneLocked files show a padlock. Type the password you were given and press Unlock. It stays on the page and is never kept.
  4. Choose the filesEvery file starts chosen. Untick what you do not want, or tick a folder to choose everything in it.
  5. Take them outIn Chrome and Edge on a computer, Extract into a folder writes the files with their folders into one you choose. In every browser, Download saves one file as it is, or several as one ZIP your device opens by itself. Each row has its own download button too.
  6. Check for damageCheck for damage reads every file in full and compares it with the checksum it was saved with, then names any file that does not match.
Every option explained
What it opens
ZIP files, ZIP64 files over 4 GB, ZIPs cut into parts, ZIPs behind a self-extracting program, and ZIPs a Mac made over 4 GB that the Mac itself may not open again. Also RAR (RAR4 and RAR5, solid RAR5 too), 7z, TAR, tar.gz (.tgz), tar.xz, tar.bz2 and tar.zst, and single .gz, .xz, .bz2, .zst, .lz4 and .br files.
Passwords
WinZip AES (128, 192 or 256) and the older ZipCrypto. A forgotten password cannot be found or removed here.
Names
A ZIP may not say how its names are written. Then they are read as Unicode when they make sense that way, and as DOS letters (CP437) otherwise. If names look garbled, choose Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Cyrillic or another way under More options.
Hidden files
__MACOSX folders, ._ files, .DS_Store, Thumbs.db and desktop.ini are left out unless you turn the switch off under More options.
Safety
Entries whose names lead out of the folder (../), start at the top of a disk, or are links or devices are listed and never written. An archive that grows more than a thousand times once past 1 GB, as zip bombs do, is stopped.
What a browser cannot do
Files it writes get today's date, not their own, and no permissions; links are not made. Writing into a folder needs Chrome or Edge on a computer.
Not opened
Files packed with BZip2, LZMA, XZ, Zstandard or PPMd inside a ZIP are listed with the reason. RAR and 7z files locked with a password, and solid RAR4 files, are not opened yet; RAR and 7z files are opened, never made.
