Choose a ZIP archive to list its entries.
ZIP Extractor opens archives the careful way: it reads the central directory first, audits every entry against expansion and path guards, and only then decodes what you select. Dangerous entries stay disabled with their reasons, encrypted files are reported without password games, and clean selections download individually or as a repacked safe archive. Archives are capped at 500 MB, and entry names are checked against traversal, absolute paths and duplicates before any bytes are extracted.

Frequently asked questions about ZIP Extractor
Does ZIP Extractor protect against zip bombs?
Yes. Entry counts, expanded totals, and per-entry expansion ratios are checked from the central directory before anything decodes, and violations name their entry.
What happens to encrypted files?
They are listed and refused by name. This tool never asks for passwords and never attempts decryption.
Where do extracted files go?
Only into your browser downloads — one file per download, or a single repacked ZIP. Nothing is written anywhere else, ever.
Is anything uploaded?
Nothing. Listing, auditing, decoding, and repacking run in your browser — in a background worker when one is available.
