Step by step
Open your archive in three steps
- Choose the encrypted ZIP file. Its file names may be visible before entering a password.
- Enter the password supplied by the archive creator.
- Preview or download a file. If the password is rejected, check capitalization and extra spaces before trying again.
A password is required to decrypt the contents
This tool opens supported encrypted ZIP archives using the password you provide. It does not recover forgotten passwords or remove encryption without the correct password.
Passwords stay in the browser
The password is passed to the local archive engine, not sent to a server. Clear the archive or close the page after use on a shared device. Filenames in many encrypted ZIPs remain readable even while file contents are encrypted.
Local processing, practical limits
Selected files and archive passwords stay on your device. Browser memory, archive size and compression method affect what can be processed. The tool shows its current limits and reports unsupported or unsafe archives. Use a desktop archiver for large backups, multipart sets or filesystem metadata that must be restored exactly.
