Open a ZIP and choose files to extract

ZIP archives are widely used for document bundles, project downloads, backups, and email attachments. They can contain individual files, nested folders, compressed data, and optional password protection in one portable package.

ZIP supports nested folders, varied compression methods, and optional encryption. Very large archives or uncommon ZIP variants can exceed browser limits and may require a desktop archive app.

Unzip files online FAQ

How do I unzip a file online?

Select the .zip file, enter its password if needed, and click Open Archive. Download handles individual entries; Extract All to Folder is available in browsers that permit folder access.

Can I unzip a password-protected ZIP?

Many encrypted ZIP archives can be read after you enter the correct password. Some newer or uncommon encryption methods may require the program that created the archive.

Are ZIP files uploaded for extraction?

No. ZIP inspection and extraction stay in your browser, and nothing is uploaded. The tool writes a file only after you click Download or approve a folder for Extract All to Folder.

Can I choose which files to extract?

Yes. Click Download beside any entry to save it alone. Extract All to Folder saves all regular files to a chosen destination while preserving their safe relative paths.

Why does my ZIP file fail to open?

An incomplete download, corruption, incompatible compression or encryption, or insufficient browser memory can prevent the ZIP from opening. Verify the file and password before trying a desktop extractor.
