ZIP Extractor

System ideaMissing a tool?

Inspect and extract files from a ZIP archive in your browser

Open a ZIP file to see every entry it contains, then download individual files or all of them at once. Reading and decompression both happen in your browser using its native inflate support, and the archive is never uploaded.

No archive selected yet

Archives are opened and extracted entirely in your browser; nothing is uploaded.

Everything on this page is processed in your browser. Nothing is uploaded.

What this tool does

This tool reads a ZIP archive's central directory to list every file inside it with its size and status, then decompresses entries on demand using the browser's built-in DecompressionStream. For safety it refuses to extract anything it cannot verify: password-protected entries, compression methods other than store and deflate, entry names that try to escape the extraction folder with ".." or an absolute path, and archives or entries past a size limit are all listed with a reason instead of being extracted, so a crafted archive cannot write outside the download or exhaust memory.

How to use it

  1. Choose a .zip file to open.
  2. Review the list of entries, their size and their status.
  3. Download an entry, or download every extractable entry as a new ZIP.

Privacy

This tool runs entirely in your browser. Your input is never uploaded, stored or shared — closing the tab removes it.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ZIP file uploaded to extract it?
No. The archive is read and decompressed entirely in your browser.
What happens with password-protected or unusual archives?
Encrypted entries, unsupported compression methods, unsafe entry names and entries past the size limit are listed with a status explaining why they were skipped, rather than being extracted.
Can I download everything at once?
Yes. "Download extractable files as .zip" bundles every entry that passed the safety checks into a new archive.
