Frequently Asked Questions
Can I extract password-protected ZIP files?
No. For security reasons, password-protected ZIP files cannot be extracted in the browser. Use a desktop tool like 7-Zip for encrypted archives.
What is the maximum file size?
There is no hard limit, but very large ZIP files may take longer to process depending on your device memory. We recommend files under 500MB for best performance.
Are my files uploaded to a server?
No. All extraction happens entirely in your browser using JavaScript. Your files never leave your device.
