About Unzip Online

Most ZIPs contain one file you actually want. Extracting everything to a folder and hunting for it is slower than listing the archive and grabbing that file directly, which is what this page does.

The archive is read in your browser with a fast decompressor, so even large ZIPs list in a moment and you download only the files you click — or everything at once. Encrypted ZIPs cannot be opened in the browser; use a desktop tool for those.

How to unzip online

  1. Drop ZIP file onto the box above, click it to browse, or paste from the clipboard.
  2. Check the file list; remove anything you added by mistake.
  3. Press Convert. The work happens on your device, so speed depends on your computer or phone.
  4. Download the result.

About the format

ZIP · ZIP archive · .zip

The universal archive: several files bundled and compressed into one, opened natively on Windows, macOS, iOS and Android.

  • ZIP compresses each file separately, so already-compressed files (JPG, MP4) barely shrink.
  • ZIP supports password protection, but the classic ZipCrypto scheme is weak; AES-256 ZIPs need 7-Zip or WinZip.
  • A ZIP over 4 GB needs the ZIP64 extension, which very old tools do not read.
