Open an archive without uploading it

You should not need to send an unfamiliar archive to a third-party server just to learn what it contains. Read it on your device, inspect the file list first, and extract only the items you expect.

Do it step by step

  1. 1

    Open the Archive Extractor and select a ZIP, RAR, or 7Z file.

  2. 2

    Let the browser read the archive locally. Larger archives may take longer.

  3. 3

    Check the filenames and folder structure before extracting anything.

  4. 4

    Download only the files you need, and avoid unexpected executables or scripts.

Useful for

Email attachments, old backups, client deliveries, and downloaded project bundles.

Before you start

Keeping an archive off an upload server protects its privacy. It does not make unknown contents trustworthy. Scan unfamiliar files with your operating system security tools before opening them.
