Extract ZIP

Open a ZIP archive and download the files you need. No upload, no install.

How to extract a ZIP

Step 01

Drop a ZIP file into the box.

Step 02

We list every file inside without uploading anything.

Step 03

Click Download next to a file to save it locally.

Open and extract files from a ZIP archive directly in your browser, with no upload to a server. Like every tool on this site, the extract zip runs entirely inside your browser. Your files are never uploaded to a server. There are no accounts, no monthly limits, and no watermarks — just an honest tool that does one job well.

Common use cases

Pulling a few specific files out of a large archive without installing a separate ZIP tool — useful on locked-down machines or shared computers where you cannot install software.

Inspecting the contents of a ZIP from an unknown source before downloading the whole thing — listing files first lets you spot anything suspicious.

Working with archives on a phone or tablet where the operating system does not natively expose ZIP browsing.

How it works

Drop the .zip file onto the upload area. JSZip parses the archive structure inside your browser, lists every file, and shows the total size.

Pick the files you need. Each is decompressed in memory and made available as an individual download. You can also extract everything at once.

Files are saved to your normal browser download location. Nothing leaves your device — neither the archive nor its contents.

Privacy by design

We built this tool to demonstrate that powerful file utilities do not require sending your data to a remote server. Every byte stays on your device.

Hosting and bandwidth aren't free, so the site is supported by privacy-respecting display advertising. Ads never have access to your files because the ads run in a separate iframe and the files never leave your browser memory in the first place.

You can opt out of personalised advertising at any time via the cookie banner at the bottom of the page. Functional behaviour of the tools does not change based on your consent — it only affects the type of ads displayed.

Frequently asked questions

Is it really free?

Yes. There are no fees, no monthly limits, and no premium tier. The tools are funded by display advertising.

Are my files private?

Completely. Everything runs in your browser. We don't have a server that sees your files.

Will it work on my phone?

Yes. Every tool is responsive and works on iOS Safari and Android Chrome. Some heavy operations (large videos, complex PDFs) may be slow on older devices because the work happens locally rather than on a server.

Do I need an account?

No. Tools work immediately, with no signup or login.

Can I use it for commercial work?

Yes. There are no restrictions on the type of file you process or what you do with the result, beyond not violating the law or our Terms of Service.

Where can I report a bug or request a feature?

The Contact page lists an email address — we read every message and try to respond within a couple of business days.
