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.

Questions people ask

What is kept when it becomes a ZIP?
Every file's bytes, name, folder and date. Owners and permissions are not carried over, and links, devices and sparse files are left out with the reason.
Is anything uploaded to convert it?
No. The files are taken out into your browser's private storage for this site, packed into a ZIP on your device, and downloaded. That storage is emptied when you leave the page.
How much space does it need?
Room for the files taken out and for the ZIP, for a moment, since the files are written out before they are packed again. There is no size limit of KeepSimp's own.
Can I convert a single .gz file to ZIP?
A .gz holds one file, so there is nothing to convert: open it and save the file inside. If you want it in a ZIP, make a ZIP of that file afterwards.
