Unzip Files

Built-in unzip works well on computers. This helps on phones and tablets, on managed devices where you can’t install apps, and for ZIPs with password protection (AES) or unusual compression that the built-in tools refuse.

Type the password when asked; it is used only in this tab to unlock the files. The tool never guesses or cracks passwords.

In Chrome and Edge on computers, “Save all to a folder” writes every file into a folder you pick, keeping the subfolders; files already there aren’t overwritten. Other browsers save one file at a time, or all files as one ZIP.

Opening it here is: nothing inside is run, and names that try to escape their folder (like “../../file”) are cleaned up before anything is shown or saved. Archives that claim to be small but unpack to enormous sizes (“zip bombs”) are stopped. What you do with the extracted files afterwards is up to you: be careful with programs and documents from unknown senders.

Old ZIP tools stored names in the DOS character set without saying so. Names are read as UTF-8 when they are valid UTF-8, and otherwise as that old character set, which gets most accented names right.

It is free to use and there is nothing to sign up for. There are no watermarks and no daily limits.
