Why this runs in your browser

Most free PDF sites ask you to upload your file. Then you wait. Then you hope they delete their copy. That is a bad deal for a payslip, a contract or a passport scan.

Open a ZIP File reads the file on your device and saves the result to your downloads folder. There is no upload and no copy on a server. For the details, see how it works.

Open a ZIP File questions

What does unzip mean?

Unzip means to open a zip and take the files out. The files go back to their normal size and type.

Where do my files go?

They go to the folder you pick. If your browser cannot pick a folder, they go to your downloads folder.

Can I open a RAR or 7Z file?

No. This tool opens zip files only. Ask the sender for a zip. You can also use a program for RAR and 7Z.

Why does it ask for a password?

Some zips are locked by the person who made them. We cannot open those. Ask the sender for the password or a new zip.

Is my zip uploaded?

No. Your browser reads the zip and writes the files. We never get a copy.

Can I open a zip on my phone?

Yes. The tool works in a phone browser. Saving many files works best on a computer.

Why is a file missing?

The zip may be damaged or still downloading. Check the file size and try again.
