Files stay in this browser. Processing starts only on your device.

Ready when you are. Limits: 1 GB input, 256 MB per extracted file, 512 MB total.

Step by step

Open your archive in three steps

  1. Choose the encrypted ZIP file. Its file names may be visible before entering a password.
  2. Enter the password supplied by the archive creator.
  3. 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.

Frequently asked questions

Why can I see names but not open files?

Many ZIP archives encrypt file contents while leaving the file directory visible. Extraction still requires the password.

What if I forgot the password?

Ask the sender or check your password records. This tool has no password-recovery service.
