Maximum file size: 100MB

Upload one ZIP (up to 100 MB). The server unpacks safe entries, lists them, and gives download links (plus optional re-zip of all). Executables, scripts, path traversal, and __MACOSX junk are stripped.

How to Extract a ZIP File

  1. Select or drag in the ZIP archive.
  2. Start the extraction and wait for it to finish.
  3. Download each file from the list, or use Download all as ZIP when there are several files.
  4. Read the warning message if one appears; it lists what was skipped.

Why This Tool Filters Content

Archives are a common way to move harmful files around, so anything executable is removed rather than passed on. The excluded extensions include .php and its numbered variants, .exe, .sh, .bat, .cmd, .com, .msi, .ps1, .psm1, .vbs, .vbe, .js, .jse, .wsf, .wsh, .jar, .cgi, .pl, .py, .rb, .asp, .aspx and .jsp.

Entries that try to escape their folder using path traversal are also refused, and macOS metadata such as the __MACOSX folder and ._ files is dropped because it is rarely wanted.

Limits

  • One ZIP archive per operation, up to 100 MB.
  • A maximum of 200 entries inside the archive.
  • A maximum of 500 MB of uncompressed content, which guards against archives that expand enormously.
  • Requests are rate limited to ten per minute from the same address.

Common Use Cases

  • Opening an archive on a device with no unzip software.
  • Checking what is inside a ZIP before saving it locally.
  • Getting a clean copy of an archive with executable files stripped out.
  • Pulling documents out of a bundle someone sent you.

Limitations

  • Password-protected and encrypted archives are not supported.
  • Only the ZIP format is handled; RAR, 7z and TAR archives are not.
  • If every entry is filtered out, nothing will be returned.

Upload

The ZIP is processed on our server; entries are not kept in a user library.

ZIP extraction questions

What are the limits?

One ZIP archive of up to 100 MB, containing a maximum of 200 entries and 500 MB of uncompressed content. Requests are limited to ten per minute from the same address.

Why were some files skipped?

Executable and script files are removed for safety, including .php and its variants, .exe, .sh, .bat, .cmd, .com, .msi, .ps1, .vbs, .js, .jar, .py, .rb, .pl, .asp, .aspx and .jsp. Path traversal entries and macOS metadata are also dropped.

Can I extract a password-protected ZIP?

No. Encrypted and password-protected archives are not supported on this page.

Does it support RAR or 7z files?

No. Only the ZIP format is handled. RAR, 7z and TAR archives need dedicated software.

Do I get the files themselves, or another ZIP?

You get a list of the extracted files and can download each one directly. If the archive contains more than one file, an optional Download all as ZIP button is also shown.

What is the 500 MB uncompressed limit for?

It guards against archives that are small on disk but expand enormously when opened, which can otherwise be used to exhaust server resources.
