Open a password-protected ZIP

Open a ZIP locked with a password you know, AES or ZipCrypto, and take its files out on your device. Free, with no account or uploads.

Type the password you were given. It stays on your device, and a forgotten one cannot be found here.

Drop a locked ZIP to open it

Or choose one from your computer or phone. For a ZIP cut into parts (.z01, .z02 … .zip), choose every part at once.

  • ZIP
  • RAR
  • 7z
  • TAR
  • tar.gz
  • tar.xz
  • .gz

Stays on your device. No size limit but your device's.

Questions people ask

Can it find a password I have forgotten?
No. It opens an archive with the password you know and never guesses or tries lists of passwords. If it is lost, ask whoever made the archive to send it again.
Which kinds of lock does it open?
WinZip AES at 128, 192 or 256 bits, which 7-Zip, WinZip and WinRAR write, and the older ZipCrypto. PKWARE's rare strong encryption is not opened, and the page says so.
Is my password sent or kept anywhere?
No. It is checked against the archive on your device, stays on the page while it is open, and is forgotten when you open another archive or close the page.
Are the files I take out still locked?
No. One file is saved as it is, and several come as one ZIP with no password. Keep them as carefully as the locked archive.
