Questions people ask

Does viewing a ZIP take anything out of it?
No. The list of files is read from the archive and shown, and a preview reads only the one file you press, in your browser. Nothing is written or uploaded until you choose to download.
Which files can I preview?
Pictures (JPEG, PNG, GIF, WebP, AVIF, BMP, ICO and SVG), text and code, and sound and video the browser can play, up to 32 MB each. A web page or a script is shown as its text and never run.
Can I see inside a ZIP that has a password?
You can see the list: a ZIP's password locks what is in its files, not their names, sizes or dates. Previewing or taking out a locked file needs the password.
Can I search for one file in a large archive?
Yes. Find a file looks through every name in the archive, however deep its folder, and shows the files that match, each with its preview and download buttons.
