Unzip Files

Extract files from a .zip archive online for free, right in your browser. Download files individually or as a fresh ZIP. No uploads, fully private.

About This Tool

Open a .zip archive and pull out everything inside it without installing any software. Upload a zip file and every file it contains is extracted and made available to download, either one at a time or all together. Works entirely in your browser: the archive is never sent anywhere.

How To Use

  1. Drop your .zip file into the upload zone or click to select it.
  2. Click "Extract", no settings to configure.
  3. Each file inside the archive is extracted in your browser.
  4. Download the extracted files individually or as a ZIP.

How It Works

The uploaded archive is parsed directly from its raw bytes to find the central directory, the index at the end of a ZIP file listing every entry, its size, and where its data sits inside the archive. Each entry is then decompressed independently using the browser's native DEFLATE support.

Files are extracted with their original names and content exactly as they were when the archive was created; nothing is re-encoded or altered. If the archive contains a folder structure, each entry's stored path is kept as its filename.

All of this parsing and decompression happens inside a Web Worker on your device. The archive is never transmitted anywhere, and extraction works even for archives with many files without freezing your browser.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if my zip is password protected?

This tool needs an unprotected zip. Use our Remove ZIP Password tool first with the correct password, then extract the resulting unprotected archive here.

Can I extract just one file instead of everything?

Currently every file in the archive is extracted. After extraction, simply download only the files you need and discard the rest.

Is there a size limit?

Archives up to 200MB are supported. Very large archives with many entries may take a few moments to fully extract.

What happens to folders inside the zip?

Each entry keeps its stored path as part of its filename, so you can see which folder it originally came from.

Is my zip file uploaded to a server?

No. Extraction happens entirely in your browser. Your archive and its contents never leave your device.
