Quick answer

To unzip files online, drag your ZIP archive onto the tool above and it opens straight away. Browse the contents, then save individual files or all of them at once. It is free, needs no sign up and no software, and the archive is unpacked inside your browser rather than on a server.

Step by step

How to unzip files online

1

Add your ZIP file

Drag and drop the archive onto the tool, or click to browse for it.

2

See what is inside

The file list appears immediately, with names and sizes, before you save anything.

3

Pick your files

Take the whole archive, or just the one or two files you actually need.

4

Download

Files are written straight to your downloads folder. No install, no account.

Batch

Extract multiple zip files at once

You can extract multiple zip files at once rather than repeating the same clicks. Drop every archive in together and each one is opened in turn, so a folder of downloads becomes a single pass. This is the main reason people unzip multiple files at once here instead of double clicking each archive in a file manager.

How to extract zip files on Chromebook

Chromebooks have limited archive support and cannot install desktop utilities, which makes a browser tool the natural fit. To extract zip files on Chromebook, open this page in Chrome, drop the archive in, and save the contents to your Downloads folder or to Google Drive. Nothing needs to be installed and no extension is required.

Other archives

RAR, 7z, TAR and GZ archives

This page handles ZIP. For other formats use Extract Archive, which opens RAR, 7z, TAR and GZ, or go straight to 7z Extract and TAR and GZ Extract. One thing worth knowing: RAR and 7z can be read in a browser but not written, because both are proprietary, so ZIP is the only archive you can create here.

Background

Why unzip in the browser?

A ZIP archive is just a container that holds compressed files together, and unpacking one is simple maths that any modern browser can do. That means no download, no installer and no permission prompt. It also means the archive is never handed to a stranger's server, which matters when it holds invoices, ID scans or client work.

Queue up a batch instead of opening them one by one.

Other formats

Other archive tools

Need to go the other way? Create ZIP packs files into one archive for sending. RAR to ZIP converts an archive you cannot open into one you can. Everything else lives in Archive Tools, and if the files inside are images you can shrink them with the image compressor.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Is this online ZIP extractor free?
Yes, completely free. No sign up, no software to install and no limit on how many archives you open.
How do I extract multiple zip files at once?
Drop all of the archives onto the tool together. Each one is opened in turn and you can save the contents in a single pass.
How do I extract zip files on a Chromebook?
Open this page in Chrome, drop the archive in, and save the files to Downloads or Google Drive. No install and no extension needed.
Can it open RAR and 7z files?
Not on this page. Use the Extract Archive tool for RAR, 7z, TAR and GZ. ZIP is the only format that can also be created in a browser.
Is my archive uploaded to a server?
No. The ZIP is unpacked on your own device, so the contents never leave it and nothing is stored anywhere.
Is there a file size limit?
The practical limit is your device memory rather than a rule we set, because the work happens locally. Very large archives are slower on phones than on a desktop.
