Open a ZIP archive in your browser, list what is inside, and download individual files or the whole set again.
The archive is opened in this tab. Nothing is uploaded.
Choose a .zip to see its files.
The list of files inside appears here. Each one can be downloaded on its own.
Your file is never sent to a server. It is read and processed by your own browser, and the results are not stored.
A ZIP stores a directory of entry names, compressed sizes and offsets, followed by the compressed bytes. The names are plain text, which is why the file list appears immediately, while each file’s contents are decompressed only when you ask for that download.
This tool decompresses in the page rather than on a server. The archive, every entry name and every byte stay on the device. Nothing is uploaded, and no filename is logged.
Compression ratios can be enormous. A few kilobytes of zeros can expand into gigabytes, and an archive can declare one size while producing another. The only trustworthy bound is the number of bytes actually produced, so the tool measures those as it reads and stops once the budget is crossed.
Entry names get the same treatment. A path containing “..” segments is rewritten rather than resolved, which keeps an extracted file inside the folder the visitor expects.
No. Extract ZIP Files Online runs in your browser, and the file is read there rather than sent to a server for processing. Our host still sees ordinary page-request metadata, which is described on the privacy page.
Yes, Extract ZIP Files Online is free, with no paid tier, no account, and no watermark added to your output. The limits are technical rather than commercial: file size, page count and supported formats are listed on this page.
Extract ZIP Files Online supports .zip files up to 100MB directly in your browser.
No. The tool does not ask for a password and will tell you that the archive is encrypted rather than failing silently. Use your operating system’s archive utility for an encrypted ZIP.
Folder paths are shown as they are stored in the archive, with traversal segments removed: an entry named ../../secret.txt is displayed and saved under secret.txt, never outside the download folder. Repeated names are numbered so no file silently replaces another.
A small ZIP can expand into a very large amount of data. The tool stops at 500 entries and 150 MB of measured uncompressed output. That is a safety ceiling for the browser tab, not a paid limit.
