Frequently Asked Questions
What file types can I extract?
This tool extracts standard .zip archives. It supports ZIP files created by Windows Explorer, macOS Finder, 7-Zip, WinRAR (when saved as .zip), and any other tool that creates standard ZIP format archives.
Is my ZIP file uploaded to a server?
No. All extraction is handled by JavaScript running directly in your browser. Your files never leave your computer, which means your ZIP contents stay completely private.
Can I extract a password-protected ZIP file?
Password-protected (encrypted) ZIP files require the password to be entered before extraction. If your ZIP is encrypted, the tool will prompt you for the password.
What is the maximum ZIP file size this tool handles?
There is no server-side file size restriction since everything runs locally. Very large ZIP files (several GB) may take a moment to process depending on your device's available memory.
Can I extract just one file from inside the ZIP?
Yes — after the ZIP is opened, each file in the list has its own Download button so you can grab individual files without extracting the entire archive.
What if my ZIP file is corrupted?
If the ZIP file is damaged or not a valid archive, the tool will display an error message. In that case, you may need a desktop tool like 7-Zip that has more advanced repair options.
Does this work on Mac and iPhone?
Yes. The tool works in any modern browser on any platform — Windows, Mac, iPhone, Android, and Linux.
What is a ZIP file?
A ZIP file is a compressed archive format that bundles one or more files into a single package, reducing their total size. It's the most common archive format used across Windows, Mac, and the web.
