About ZIP Extractor
ZIP Extractor reads a ZIP archive's contents using JSZip and lists every file inside — folders, images, documents — letting you download individual files or everything at once, all without uploading the archive anywhere.
Handy for peeking inside a ZIP you received before committing to a full download-and-extract on your device, especially on a phone or tablet where extracting archives isn't always straightforward.
Peeking inside before committing to a download
Downloading and extracting a ZIP file the traditional way commits you to unpacking everything before you know what's actually inside — awkward on a phone, and unnecessary when you only need one file from a large archive. ZIP Extractor reads the archive's internal listing first, so you can see every file and folder it contains and choose exactly what to download, without ever extracting the full archive to your device's file system.
How the reading and extraction work
This tool uses JSZip, a well-established open-source library for reading and writing ZIP files in JavaScript, to parse the archive's central directory and list every entry — including files nested inside subfolders. Selecting an individual file decompresses just that entry on demand; choosing to download everything re-packages the full contents into a fresh ZIP for a single combined download. All of this happens with the archive held in your browser's memory, never touching a server.

Tips for the best results
- On a phone or tablet where extracting archives isn't straightforward, this is often the fastest way to grab just one file from a ZIP.
- Check the file listing for nested folder paths before downloading, so you know where each file logically belongs.
- Encrypted ZIP files aren't supported — remove the password using your ZIP tool of choice before uploading here.
- Extracted a bunch of scanned pages? Combine them with JPG to PDF or Merge PDF.
