🗜️ ZIP Extractor (Open ZIP Online)

Open a .zip to list its contents and pull out any file — right in your browser, with no software to install and nothing uploaded.

Lists everything inside a ZIP archive and lets you save any file out of it — no unzip software needed, and no upload. Works with standard ZIP files from any tool; encrypted (password-protected) archives and formats like RAR or 7z aren\'t supported. 🔒 The archive is read entirely in your browser with JSZip; nothing is transmitted.

How the zip extractor (open zip online) works

The tool reads the ZIP's directory with JSZip and lists every file inside — path and uncompressed size — then lets you save any single file with one click. Everything happens in your browser: the archive is decompressed locally and never sent anywhere. It handles standard ZIP archives from any tool (Windows, macOS, Linux, build outputs, downloads).

This is the "I just need one file out of this ZIP and don't want to install anything" tool — useful on a locked-down work machine, a phone, or when a download is a ZIP you'd rather peek into before trusting. Because it runs on your device, even sensitive archives stay private. Two limits by design: password-protected (encrypted) ZIPs aren't supported, and other archive formats — RAR, 7z, tar.gz — use different compression and won't open here.

Frequently asked questions

How do I open a ZIP file without software?

Choose the .zip here and it lists everything inside; click Save on any file to extract it. It runs entirely in your browser, so there's nothing to install and the archive isn't uploaded.

Can I extract just one file from a ZIP?

Yes — that's the point. The tool shows every file in the archive and lets you save them individually, so you don't have to unzip the whole thing.

Does it work with password-protected ZIPs?

No — encrypted ZIP archives aren't supported, because they need the password to decrypt each file. Remove the encryption in your zip tool first, or use one that prompts for the password.

What about RAR or 7z files?

This tool handles standard ZIP archives only. RAR, 7z and tar.gz use different formats and compression, so they won't open here.

Is my archive uploaded?

No — the ZIP is read and decompressed entirely in your browser with JSZip, so its contents never leave your device, and it works offline.
