Privacy — processed in your browser
This zip extractor opens ZIP files locally in your browser. Your ZIP file and its contents are never sent to any server, never uploaded, never logged, and never stored. All extraction happens using JavaScript on your own device. Extract files only from ZIP archives you trust, as ZIP files can contain any file type.
Large ZIP files may be slow or fail on older devices or mobile browsers because your device handles all the decompression work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this upload my ZIP file?
No. This browser-based ZIP extractor reads and decompresses your ZIP file entirely inside your browser using JavaScript. Your archive and its contents are never sent to any server, never logged, and never stored. You can safely open ZIP files containing private or sensitive data.
Can I open a ZIP file online without installing software?
Yes. This tool lets you open and extract ZIP files directly in your browser without installing any software, app, or plugin. It works in any modern browser on desktop or mobile. Just drop your ZIP file into the tool, browse the contents, and download the files you need.
Can I download individual files from the ZIP?
Yes. Each file in the archive has a download button next to it. Click it to extract and download just that file. If you want to download everything at once, use the Download all button at the top of the file list, which re-packages all the contents into a new ZIP for download.
Are password-protected ZIP files supported?
Password-protected ZIP files may not be supported in this browser-only version. If your ZIP is encrypted with a password, the tool will show an error. To extract password-protected ZIPs, use a native application such as 7-Zip (Windows/Linux) or The Unarchiver (macOS).
Are there file-size limits?
The hard limit is 500 MB per ZIP file. However, very large ZIP files may be slow to read or fail on devices with limited memory — especially mobile browsers. This online ZIP file opener works best for archives under 100 MB. For very large archives, a native ZIP application will be faster and more reliable.
