Extract ZIP
Drop a ZIP archive and out comes a list of what is inside: every file with its own button, and the folders where they belong. If you only need one, you download that one. The archive never leaves your device.
Your file stays on your device: nothing is uploaded
How it works
The archive is opened inside your browser, and not a byte is sent anywhere. Folders are kept: a file that lived in “photos/holiday” comes out with that path, and downloading everything at once gives you the tree as it was. Names are read the way whoever built the archive wrote them — including the old programs that use a thirty-year-old character set, without which “città” would come out as a name with an invisible control character inside. Every extracted file is checked against the checksum the archive declares: if it does not add up we tell you, rather than hand you a file whose contents we cannot vouch for. The entries macOS adds by itself — the “__MACOSX” folder and the “.DS_Store” files — are skipped and counted, because they mean nothing to whoever opens the archive; if you need them, there is an option to keep them.
Your files are never uploaded. Anywhere.
Not to a server of ours, not to a third party, never. When you pick a file it stays in your browser’s memory: it is read, processed and written back on your device, and you save the result yourself. There is no path that takes it elsewhere, because there is no server to send it to.
- Processed locallyFormats are handled by WebAssembly code running in your browser, not by a remote service.
- Nothing to upload, nothing to wait forOther services send your file to a server and then send it back to you. Here the file never leaves: there is no upload to wait for.
- No accountNo sign-up, no email, no daily limits to get around by paying.
- No files to deleteOthers promise to erase your files after an hour. We have nothing to erase: they never reached us.
