How it works

  1. Choose your ZIP. Select or drop the .zip archive you want to open.
  2. See the contents. Every file inside is listed with its size, extracted in your browser.
  3. Download what you need. Grab individual files — nothing was uploaded anywhere.

About this tool

Open a .zip and pull the files out without installing WinZip or 7-Zip. Drop the archive in and it is unpacked instantly in your browser — the contents are listed with their sizes and a download button each. Because the extraction runs entirely on your own device, nothing is uploaded to a server, which makes it both private and fast even for an archive full of documents or images. Use the companion Archive/Zip tool when you need to go the other way and create a zip.

What people use it for

  • Extract a download privately, without uploading it
  • Check what is inside a zip before keeping it

Frequently asked questions

No. The zip is opened entirely in your browser using JavaScript, so the file and its contents never leave your device.

There is no fixed cap — it is bounded only by your device’s memory. Very large archives (hundreds of MB) work but use more RAM while extracting.

No. Encrypted archives can’t be opened without their password and that isn’t supported here; the tool handles standard, unencrypted zips.

This tool reads the .zip format. RAR and 7z use different compression and aren’t supported; convert them to zip first if you can.

Each file gets its own download button so you can pick exactly what you need. Re-zipping a subset can be done with the Archive/Zip tool.

Yes — no account, no watermark, no limits. It is a client-side tool with nothing to meter.

Yes. It runs in your browser, so Unzip Files works on phones and tablets as well as desktop — there is no app to install.

Usually just a few seconds for a typical file — Unzip Files starts working the moment you give it your input.

All modern browsers — Chrome, Safari, Firefox and Edge. Unzip Files needs nothing installed beyond the browser you already use.
