Unzip files online

Ethical Tube's free ZIP extractor opens ZIP files in your browser and lets you download the files inside one at a time or all together, with nothing to install. It's handy on Chromebooks, phones, and work computers where you can't install apps, and it opens password-protected ZIPs too. Your files are never uploaded.

How it works

How to open ZIP files

  1. Add the ZIP file

    Drop it onto the page or click to choose it. If it's password-protected, type the password when asked.

  2. Browse the contents

    Every file and folder inside is listed with its size, so you can find what you need.

  3. Save the files

    Download files one at a time, save everything to a folder (in Chrome and Edge on a computer), or download it all as one ZIP.

Good to know

About ZIP files

  • Windows, macOS, iPhone, and Android can open ZIP files themselves. This tool helps when that fails, when you're on a locked-down computer, or when the ZIP is encrypted.
  • Both classic ZipCrypto and AES-encrypted ZIPs are supported.
  • Folders inside the ZIP are kept when you save everything to a folder.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is the ZIP extractor free?

Yes. It's completely free, with no sign-up, no watermark, and no limit on how many files you process. It costs Ethical Tube nothing to run, because the work happens on your own device rather than on a server.

Are my files uploaded anywhere?

No. Everything happens inside your browser, so your files never leave your device. Once the page has loaded, the tool even works offline.

Can it open password-protected ZIP files?

Yes. You'll be asked for the password, and it's used only in your browser to decrypt the files.

Does it work on a phone or Chromebook?

Yes. It works in Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and Safari on computers, Chromebooks, iPhones, and Android phones, with nothing to install. On a phone, files are saved one at a time or as a ZIP.

Is there a size limit?

There's no upload limit because nothing is uploaded. The archive and its contents have to fit in your device's memory, so archives up to about 2 GB usually work on a computer.
