Zip and unzip files in your browser
Drop several files to pack them into one .zip, or drop a .zip to see what’s inside and download any file from it. You don’t need WinZip, 7-Zip or an app, which helps on a work laptop or a borrowed computer. Folders inside an archive show in the file name, so you can see where each file sat. Your files never leave your device.
Zip or unzip: how the page decides
| You drop | It does |
|---|---|
| One .zip file | Opens it and lists the files inside |
| Any other files (or a .zip plus other files) | Packs them all into a new ZIP |
When to use it
- Send many photos or documents as one attachment.
- Open a ZIP from email on a computer without unzip software.
- Pull one file out of a large archive.
Tips
- Rename files first if two have the same name.
- ZIP doesn’t shrink JPGs or PDFs much. Use Compress image or Compress PDF for real savings.
Limits
Only standard .zip archives open. RAR, 7z and password-protected ZIPs don’t. Very large archives can run out of memory.
