Extract ZIP File

Open an archive to see its content, then download single files or extract everything at once, keeping the folders. Garbled names can be fixed by choosing the right encoding.

  1. Choose the archive
  2. Select the files you need
  3. Extract or download them

Two ways to extract

Fixing strange file names

Old ZIP programs saved names in a local code page instead of UTF-8, so Arabic, Russian, Japanese or Chinese names can look like random symbols. Choose the matching encoding (for example windows-1256 for Arabic, windows-1251 for Cyrillic, shift_jis for Japanese, gbk for Chinese, cp437 for old DOS archives) and the list is read again.

Frequently asked questions

Can I open password-protected ZIP files?

No. Encrypted archives are detected and you get a clear message, but they cannot be opened here.

Why do some file names look broken?

The archive was made with an old program that did not use UTF-8. Pick the right encoding in the list and the names are fixed.

Can I extract only some files?

Yes. Untick the files you do not need, or download single files with the button in each row.

Is the archive uploaded?

No. It is opened on your device; nothing is sent anywhere.

Does it support RAR or 7Z?

Not yet. ZIP, TAR, TAR.GZ, TGZ and GZ are supported.

My browser asks to allow multiple downloads — is that normal?

Yes. When you download several files one by one, browsers ask once for permission. Saving into a folder (Chrome / Edge) avoids this.
